    To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade we didn't buy a ruby. Instead, the Center for Reproductive Rights asked Mehcad Brooks of the USA Network's "Necessary Roughness" and HBO's "True Blood" to prepare a special video message just for you. To learn more and to sign the Bill of Reproductive Rights visit DrawTheLine.org.

    FORT HUACHUCA - "That's what I signed up for," said Sgt. Charles Odom as he prepared to join the rest of the 40th Signal Battalion in a ceremony at Libby Army Airfield Sunday afternoon, prior to its deployment to Iraq. About 130 members of the communications battalion are in the air today enroute to Kuwait, after stops in Indianapolis, Newfoundland, Ireland and Hungary. This will be Odom's second tour in Iraq and, although he exchanged fire with insurgents during the year he spent around Fallujah previously, he was calm about going again. "I heard it's more secure now," the 101/2-year...

    Almost Blowing Up The WorldA Child's Memoir Of The Cuban Missile Crisis — Or, How I Escaped The ApocalypseBy Jerry Cimisi Forty years ago in late October, I came in from a lovely autumn day and sat down to dinner, surprised to see President Kennedy on the gray-blue cast of our black and white television, pre-empting reruns of the Three Stooges to announce that the Soviet Union was placing nuclear missiles in Cuba. Thus began a vivid fearful week in the life of an eleven year-old boy who lived in Rosedale, Queens. The fear was not irrational. The memories are...
