а вот дама из CNN извиняется @sarasidnerCNN:
Yesterday the Israeli Prime Minister's office said that it had confirmed Hamas beheaded babies & children while we were live on the air. The Israeli government now says today it CANNOT confirm babies were beheaded. I needed to be more careful with my words and I am sorry.

two gunshots being a suicide

After a local newspaper reported that Webb had died from multiple gunshots, the coroner's office received so many calls asking about Webb's death that Sacramento County Coroner Robert Lyons issued a statement confirming Webb had died by suicide. When asked by local reporters about the possibility of two gunshots being a suicide, Lyons replied "It's unusual in a suicide case to have two shots, but it has been done in the past, and it is in fact a distinct possibility." News coverage noted that there were widespread rumors on the Internet at the time that Webb had been killed as retribution for his "Dark Alliance" series, published eight years before. --Gary Webb
distinct possibility my ass
Back in 1938, when fascism was sweeping Europe, legendary investigative reporter George Seldes observed (in his book, The Lords of the Press) that "it is possible to fool all the people all the time -- when government and press cooperate." Unfortunately, we have reached that point. --The Mighty Wurlitzer Plays On by Gary Webb

now it is our turn

Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.

Sex After 70

The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex After 70 Sex can drop off in our final decades. But for those who keep going, it can be the best of their lives.
Заниматься сексом после 60 лет очень интересно.Вы никогда не знаете что будет - оргазм, судороги или сердечный приступ. - народ
это nyt, детка
Years ago, at Hebrew Home, a nonprofit nursing home overlooking the Hudson River on the northern tip of New York City, a nurse walked in on two residents having sex. She immediately went to Daniel Reingold, then Hebrew Home’s executive vice president. What should I do? she asked. Reingold, who has told this story often, replied, “You tiptoe out and quietly pull the door closed.”
комментарии можно читать всю жизнь
Mike Mead: It's a shame that our culture has such a moralistic, punitive approach to sex work. Older adults should be able to experience their sexuality in a therapeutic, non exploitive setting regardless of their situations.

от себя добавлю: and Medicade should pay for that too!

из письма Дарвина

...есть такие — к ним отношусь и я, — кто будет всей душой приветствовать крестовый поход Севера против рабства, даже если он унесет миллионы жизней. В конечном счете миллионы ужасающих смертей с лихвой окупятся торжеством гуманности. Господи, как хотелось бы дожить до такого дня, когда с величайшим проклятьем на земле — рабством — будет покончено!» - из письма Дарвина Азе Грею, цитируется в Дарвин и Гексли, Уильям Ирвин
Some few, & I am one, even wish to God, though at the loss of millions of lives, that the North would proclaim a crusade against Slavery. In the long run, a million horrid deaths would be amply repaid in the cause of humanity. — Great God how I should like to see that greatest curse on Earth Slavery abolished. - Charles Darwin on Racism, Slavery, and Eugenics
