...Cairo airport, EgyptAir officials in dark blue suits could do little more than confirm the names of the 217 passengers and crew, among them 62 Egyptians and 106 Americans. "I want to stay at the airport forever," said Hanafi Abdel Fattah, upon learning he had lost his eldest daughter, Walaa. "I cannot go home and face my wife." Other family members immediately accepted EgyptAir's offer to fly them to the U.S. to be close to the recovery efforts. Explained one bewildered relative: "All the information is in America, they...
...played an unwanted role as a sort of national conscience, discount division. Wal-Mart has been accused of being both censor and nanny, condemned as a promoter of demon rum and slave labor, and cited as both a friend and a foe of the environment.

"I have the right to make a choice." Perhaps St. Louise should consider what wise men inevitably learn: it doesn't pay to argue with a pregnant...
...what is it that polyamorists want? Until the Divilbiss case, they had few political goals, and even now their mission is mostly social. Basically, they want to convince us that the politics of the heart doesn't have to be governed by a one-party system. "If you are married, but you meet someone in the office you fall in love with, what do you do?" asks Hill. Most of us have to give up someone. "But that's so painful. People destroy themselves, destroy their families over that. All I'm saying is, we have choices...
