Cindy Hickman nearly bled to death the day she gave birth--three months prematurely--to her triplet sons. Weighing less than 2 lbs. each, her babies were alive, but barely. They clung so tenuously to life that her doctors recommended she name them A, B and C. Then, after a year of heroic interventions--brain shunts, tracheotomies, skull remodeling--often requiring emergency helicopter rides to the hospital nearest their rural Tennessee home, the Hickmans learned that their triplets had cerebral palsy...

Manush says that if nothing is done by Valentine...

When people in the Romanian region of Transylvania struggle to put food on the table, watching a neighbor receive preferential treatment because of his birth is divisive. "The key thing is to get all these guys into the E.U. as quickly as possible," says a Western envoy in Bucharest. Even then, ethnic ties will still run deeper than lines...
