MSG = Umami = "Accent" Ummmm....not exactly. What's in a Name? Are MSG and Umami the Same? Bruce P. Halpern Address correspondence to: Bruce P.

If what you are worried about is security, Jim, it seems like it should be no harder to maintain papal security in the Domus Sanctae Marthae than in the Apostolic Palace. It's surely not a "hotel" in the sense that a Hilton or Marriott is; it's not available to random guests or the general public. T...

rubato's point--with which I agree--is that conception is not the beginning of life; it is merely the continuation of life, since the sperm and the ovum are both already alive. (As far as we know, life began only once--more than 3 billion years ago.)

FWIW...no problem w/ the link on my Blackberry.

Largest glacier calving ever filmed...spectacular!

I think you should start a program to teach right-handed people how to do things left-handed. You'd have a larger pool of prospective customers.

In other words, exactly the same as any American who works off the books, for cash....

You problem is obvious..... It's called IE I've got to agree with CP and Jarl: if you want to keep IE on your computer to use as an emergency backup browser (hint: you'll probably never need to use it), sure, no problem...just install and use Chrome and/or Firefox for your everyday browsing needs a...

Another wow for his 67-year marriage.

BTW, I think Clinton claimed that he "did not have sex with that woman"; if he had specified "sexual intercourse" he actually would have been telling the truth.
