Much of Moscow's street food--the dumplings known as piroshki, pies stuffed with meat or vegetables, potatoes filled with herring and onion--is delicious. But hepatitis is a risk.

Yoder says he gave her "a garden-variety black eye," but prosecutors said he broke her orbital bone. After confronting her with a knife while on probation, Yoder got four years in prison...
...psychiatrist's report portrays Yoder as a heartsick young man who "desperately wanted to re-establish his relationship" at the time of the crime. The report says Yoder had been guzzling Canadian Club and tripping on two hits of acid when he went to Herring's house with the knife. The psychiatrist noted that after his arrest, Yoder was sexually assaulted in jail and twice tried to commit suicide--once by drinking Clorox. And the report says Yoder wrote threatening letters as "an expression of his despair...
