...latter included doing laundry and mending for her father, as well as providing him with medicinal compounds. Maria Celeste was the convent's herbalist and, judging from her elegantly phrased appeals to her well-connected father, also the impoverished order's chief fund raiser. She was a shrewd manager of the convent's money and kept an eye on her father's house and vineyard. One busy...
...upset because the TIME team focused on the minority rather than the majority of the kids at Webster High. Every night my son has at least one to two hours of homework, as well as some kind of music practice at school. The teachers are all involved in extra activities with the children.

Last summer I spent eight weeks in Latin America as a public health worker. Yes, a lot of teenagers do use drugs, need antidepressants and flunk out of school. But what about the rest of us? Why not pay attention to the simple, progressive things teenagers are doing? Have a little faith...
