...sorts, but not as big as what came through the tube. By last week Hansen was more than electronic news-he was entertainment. He was being filmed for the Today show and Good Morning America. There was plenty of criticism voiced along this strange journey, but attention is often what registers on television. That Hansen had and kept...

Orthodoxy might accept the Pope as primate, but only as a first among equals with the right to initiate and coordinate action, a slow and often exasperating process now followed by the Ecumenical Patriarchate with the independent branches within the Orthodox Church.

It is commonly confused with a subcategory, "twin speech," a private collection of distorted words and idioms used by 40% of twins because they feel lonely or playful or both. Twins usually give it up at age three. But Gracie and Ginny were discovered at six, still unable to speak English. They had an apparent vocabulary of hundreds of exotic words stuck together in Rube Goldberg sentence structures and salted with strange half-English...
