...please, don't insult me. I have some pride left. At least Frey's and Viswanathan's books were lousy. For all the ink that's already been spilled over what I refuse to call a literary imbroglio, the only person who's gone on record with any public anger at McEwan is Andrews' former agent, Vanessa Holt. "I was very angry about it," she told the Daily Mail. "I felt that it was at the very least discourteous of Ian McEwan not to have been in touch with Lucilla - extremely discourteous...

The pair found marijuana smokers increased their heart-attack risk by 4.8 times in the first hour after use. That’s just a little higher than the fourfold increased risk in the hour following a heavy meal rich...
...help the lowest earners find housing. One problem is weak government oversight of development--a sign, some complain, that Miami's sun-soaked complacency has addled its political leaders as well. "Planning is disdained as the enemy here," says Gihan Perera, director of the Miami Workers Center. Local anger boiled over recently at a housing scandal that Perera's group helped the Miami Herald expose: Miami-Dade's government housing agency paid millions of dollars to politically connected developers for low-income projects that were never built or were used to construct private condominiums instead.
