...intensifying, Giegie's sister Lenlen, 19, has already survived three shoot-outs; she was almost killed during an N.P.A. attack on an army post in Agusan del Sur province in 2005. One bullet hit her neck and ripped an exit through her armpit, while a second drilled into her thigh. "All I could think was, 'If I die here, I die for the people,'" she recalls. But within weeks Lenlen had recovered-young flesh heals fast-and by December 2005 she had joined a weapons raid by 43 rebels on a police headquarters in nearby Loreto town that netted...

After a recent bash two Harvardians hit the Charles’ dinky “ice rink,” sliding penguin style in their penguin suits.

Though as cagey as ever, McGrath these days looks a lot like McDermott did. "You always think you have more to offer," Jeff Thomson said recently on the topic of McGrath and other ageing quicks. "Years after...
...field is very broad. An orthopedic surgeon can spend his or her day casting babies' club feet, sewing an artery whose cross section is smaller than the dot on this i or hammering a foot long chunk of steel into someone's thigh bone with a (sterile) five pound maul - all in the name of good will toward man. Our patients generally get better and the uniquely orthopedic interaction of science and humanity makes for a great richness of experience in our everyday lives. Ask any doc - ortho is fun. And while not much of a relativist, I can imagine...
