...which came to mind as Clinton experienced a similar metamorphosis in New Hampshire last week???an unclenching that took place under far more difficult circumstances, with the whole world watching her every move. It was a rocky path with an unexpected ending. She made mistakes, said a few things in the heat of battle that she probably regrets. But she also allowed herself some tentative moments of spontaneity?not just her now famous near tears in Portsmouth, but moments of humor and anger and grace as well...
Even with the U.S. pumping $ 3 billion a week??into Iraq with scant oversight, it's still jarring to think that U.S. soldiers may be stealing from the pot. But in recent days, an Army major--and his wife and sister--was indicted on charges of pocketing $9.6 million in bribes in exchange for contracts in Iraq. An Army captain with the 10th Mountain Division was charged after allegedly soliciting a $50,000 bribe. There are now 73 investigations into $5 billion in contracts that may have been tainted by--in addition to bribes and kickbacks--rigged bids, product substitution...
Superstar Larry Bird thought the stock was overpriced. Forward Kevin McHale feared that the shares were too susceptible to injury. But when the Boston Celtics went public last week???the first time that a major league sports team has had its own listing on the New York Stock Exchange?the action on the floor was intense. All 2.6 million shares, representing a 40% stake in the franchise, sold out the first day, raising $48 million...
...medical experts second-guessed Sharon's doctors after his hospitalization last week???Did doctors err in prescribing blood thinners after the December stroke? Should he have spent Wednesday night in Jerusalem rather than at the ranch??the world grappled with the prospect of life after Sharon. His departure from the political stage has sucked the air out of the peace process for the immediate future. No one, left or right, expects a quick follow-up to the Gaza disengagement or an early return to the negotiating table. Sharon's 60 years of fighting on Israel's front lines gave...
Diets associated with longevity and good health, like the Mediterranean and traditional Japanese diets, are high in omega-3 fatty acids from fish. The North American diet is not. I have long recommended that people in the U.S. eat more fish?at least two servings a week???but I have been concerned lately about reports of increasing levels of mercury, PCBS and other contaminants in certain fish species. In my diet I stick to sardines, herring, Alaskan black cod and Alaskan sockeye salmon. All sockeye (red) salmon are wild?fish farmers haven't yet been able to domesticate them?...
