...account of violence and rape (Margaret Mead and Samoa -- The Making and Unmaking of an Anthropological Myth). "Being bilingual and bicultural doesn't mean you have to be schizophrenic," says Bernie Oordt, who taught at a local high school for twelve years.

And I think these people have a very sound sense of who they are, tied up with family and community...
...groundwater rises, it dissolves mineral salts from the soil and bedrock. Ancient buildings, many made of porous limestone, act like sponges, sucking this salty water from the ground. When the water evaporates, the salts are left behind; when this happens at the stone's surface, these crystallize into destructive white lesions...
...nice outside you play two, but you always, rain or shine, darkness or no, play one. That's a given. A bedrock assumption.

Steve ("Bedrock") Bedrosian (40 saves), last year's Cy Young winner, is one of the league's premier relievers. Thirty-eight year old Mike Schmidt still has the pop. But the Phils need some defense up the middle. Shortstop Steve Jeltz had more errors (14) than RBI (12). Best player: Schmidt...
