...from the series' final episode that the girl died in 1987, after undergoing experiments that produced enough Samanthas to keep Mulder addled for years.) And Scully has reasons to get back to her day job, as a surgeon at Our Lady of Sorrows Hospital. She hopes to find a treatment for a boy whose cancer the hospital authorities think is incurable. (X-philes will recall that, in the shank of the series, Scully bore a child, William, through in vitro fertilization; the sperm may have been Mulder's. The boy in the hospital would be about...
...Spangled Banner rang out during presentations for the 200-m sprint at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, the Australian silver medalist gazed at the flag rising in his honor. Behind him, history was being made. Tommie Smith and John Carlos used the occasion to protest their country's treatment of African Americans, each raising a gloved fist in the Black Power salute, a gesture of solidarity and defiance. Bowing to pressure from the International Olympic Committee, U.S. authorities sent the pair home to a firestorm of controversy...
Stars is the word, though the leads are actual kids, whom Burstein chose in a sifting process in which she contacted hundreds of Midwestern schools and then 10 possible subjects at Warsaw before she settled on her final four.

Offering an Olympic blessing to Adolf Hitler's Berlin in 1936 is a curse the International Olympic Committee has yet to shake off. And in the global neighborhood, any city's treatment of its local problems is suddenly a matter of everyone's concern. So evicting roughly 3 million of the capital's residents, as Beijing has done, while spending perhaps $200 billion on reconstructing the city (more than 300 times as much as it spent on rural health care for the entire nation in 2006) raises...
...made sense to try some lower-ranking operatives first, in case anything went wrong. Hamdan had also been in U.S. custody since his capture and had not been rendered to any foreign countries for interrogation, which might open the door for his defense lawyer to raise questions about his treatment. And his story certainly had narrative appeal: Hamdan had been with bin Laden from 1996 to 2001, a stretch of time that spanned not just 9/11 but al-Qaeda's 1998 attacks on two embassies in East Africa and the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen...
