...winter's day in late 1998, Kim Myong Suk, 20, lay shivering and weak from hunger on the cold concrete floor of a cell in a prison camp in North Korea, not far from the Chinese border. She was five months pregnant and was about to lose her unborn child. Of all the horrors she recalls from that day, she says, two stand out. One is that her sister, who lived in a nearby town, had been brought in to watch what was about to happen to her. The other is the name of North Korean guard...
...small and oft-ignored subset of my readers. I don’t mean residents of Pfoho or my aunts down in New Jersey, though I’m glad they’re reading too. Instead, I want to acknowledge my as-of-this-writing-unborn grandchildren. I want to do this because it occurred to me recently that some day, as my distant kin are sitting in their dorm rooms in Allston looking out onto their gorgeous new student center (or, heaven forbid, envying it from somewhere down in New Haven), they might get bored and Google their...

And in the motel's seen-better-days Riverside Grill, a pregnant, recently widowed waitress considers performing in porn films to earn enough to support her unborn child. Interspersed in and among those stories: a kidnapping, a suicide attempt, a heart attack and a woman who nearly gets buried alive...

He led the 2002 "What Would Jesus Drive?" campaign against gas-guzzling cars and was one of the organizers of the Evangelical Climate Initiative in February, when 86 evangelical Christian leaders called on Congress to regulate carbon-dioxide emissions...
Ball, 44, practices what he preaches (he drives an energy-efficient Toyota Prius) and he came to his environmental beliefs honestly: through Scripture and concern for the living and the unborn. Fearing that millions of lives could be lost in global-warming-related disasters, he began studying environmentalism at Drew University in 1994 and emerged three years later with a Ph.D. in theological ethics. He became executive director of the Evangelical Environmental Network...
