"Then last weekend Team Rudy, angry over Ms. Hanover's refusal to agree to a joint gag order, unleashed a series of first-strike assaults. Via leaked court papers, the mayor's associates revealed that Mr. Giuliani is impotent as the result of treatment he's had for prostate cancer. The tabloids were full of stories about "Rudy's secret sorrow," explanations on why Viagra won't help, how cuddling was still an option."

"Weed was one of the few drugs that offered relief. It didn't knock me out or speed me up, it didn't destroy my heart muscle or take out my hair, it didn't slow my thinking or slur my speech. It didn't attack my bowels or make my fingers numb.
It did give me some peace.
It did settle my stomach.
It did revive my appetite.
It did not lead to an addiction.
It did not cost a lot of money. (Partly because my mom grew it for me in her backyard.)
It worked."

"These days gang members don't always look like thugs. Taking advice from older criminals--some imprisoned, some retired but consulting, some still active--many hard-core gang members have traded their outfits for a more conservative look, a look police say enables them to expand into white-collar crimes without the early warning the old costume set off."

"WE CAN ALL think of famous figures throughout history who were haunted by the voices and hallucinations of schizophrenia, but how far back in mankind's past can we trace the origins of the disease? British scientist Dr. David Horrobin, author of The Madness of Adam and Eve, argues that schizophrenia signaled the beginnings of modern man: A genetic mutation changed the biochemistry of fat in our brains. This mutation instigated the ascendancy of Homo sapiens, but brought with it the burden of mental illness as well. If Horrobin is right, his hypothesis will change evolutionary biology and the way we treat schizophrenia."
