...whores, he learns to read, breaks into the safe where his records are stored, discovers her whereabouts and enters upon an odyssey of discovery that is dangerous - he is, after all, only 6 - yet touched by occasional grace notes. He is pursued by the adoption agent and her very tough bodyguard (if they don't deliver the boy they will not receive their fee) and in his travels he encounters people who wish to steal his money (and even his clothes), though he also runs into a few who help him along as best they can, in small ways...
...Actually, the one thing we all have in common is our style," says Ken Salazar. The new Rocky Mountain Democrats are populist, unpretentious, egalitarian and tough. They tend to be avid hunters and fishermen. (I was with Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer one day when he reached into his pocket for a pen and pulled out a 30.06 rifle bullet.)

Cortisol levels continue to rise after you become conscious in what is sometimes referred to as the "Oh, s___! It's another day" response. This may help explain why so many heart attacks and strokes occur between...
...That's a tough question, and the law offers few good answers. In criminal prosecutions for rape or sexual assault, about half a dozen states require that an adult victim's identity be kept secret (others require anonymity only if the prosecution or court requests it). That's because the state assumes that the promise of anonymity will encourage victims to come forward. When a woman accused basketball star Kobe Bryant of rape in Colorado, for example, the world was told his name but officially not hers. To this day, only 38% of rapes or sexual assaults are reported...
