...that music can help coma victims, so I played a Linda Ronstadt tape, Canciones de mi Padre, for my dad. Not five minutes later, he opened his eyes for the first time in 22 days! That was in January. Now, four months later, he's making slow progress back. Though he still has the tracheotomy and feeding tube, he is breathing on his own. But the effects of the Aricept are beginning to wane: some days he recognizes me, some days not. He still can't walk. And sometimes he gets so angry at all the tubes, he tries...
During the meeting, Ginsburg told me I'd definitely be accepted. Though he mentioned spanking a lot, Friar Ginsburg said the only hazing would be having a half-hour conversation with Alan King during which I'd not be allowed to fall asleep.

First, make sure you've designated a beneficiary on every IRA account. That's not enough, though. Keep copies.

The advantage: when you set up the trust, it amounts to a gift at discounted value. A $1 million house in a 10-year QPRT counts only as $379,320 against your lifetime exclusion. The discount applies because heirs who receive...
...took nearly 12 years, but last week the trial began of two alleged Libyan intelligence agents accused of blowing up Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Though some victims' families believe the defendants are only bit players in a broader terrorist scheme, they are looking for a conviction at the Netherlands trial. But early indications are that the prosecution's job may be tougher than expected. The defense doesn't have to prove anyone else's involvement but merely sow reasonable doubt in the minds of the judges about the guilt of the defendants. And despite the prosecution...
