...Iraq's Missing Girls Brian Bennett's "Stolen Wway" [May 1] painted a vivid picture of the abduction and sexual abuse of girls in Iraq. Someone has rightly said that war has no winners, only losers. And perhaps the biggest losers in Iraq for the moment are its girls. Sexual exploitation causes not just physical trauma; there is mental anguish as well. When disowned by their families, such girls are in danger of committing suicide or living the life of a prostitute. The Iraqi government should make it a priority to curb the evil of sex trafficking and rehabilitate...
...when noisy posturing too often substitutes for reasoned debate and brash opinion trumps hard fact, we try to offer the kind of in-depth reporting, cool-minded analysis and vivid photography that readers will find authoritative and compelling. You are the ultimate judge of how well we meet our goals, but it is also rewarding when our peers in journalism judge us to excel at what we do. The American Society of Magazine Editors did just that last week when my colleagues and I received two Ellies, one for General Excellence and the other for our special issue last September...
When the novel begins, Hannah is 14 and bearing silent witness to the demolition of her parents' marriage while cautiously exploring the notion of romance herself.

When disowned by their families, such girls are in danger of committing suicide or living the life of a prostitute.

...Hearst Tower proves again that Foster, 70, can orchestrate a very canny combination of the cerebral anonymity of high tech and the personal flourishes of the artiste. While you might not call his mostly heavyset structures lyrical, the best of them are vivid without being contrived, which means that even their most idiosyncratic twists and turns can be traced to some engineering or environmental requirement. So the stainless-steel diagrid of the Hearst Tower is not just jazzy but also purposeful. Triangles are more stable than rectangles. "A triangular structure has more 'load paths,'" Foster explains, using the engineer...
