| Ah, terrorism. What a lovely framework for our every thought these days. One wonders if we'll ever get back to the days when we didn't fear a sudden violent death at the hands of foreign extremists - or a slow, wasting one at the hands of |

| A lot of you men out there may be thanking your lucky stars that you married a quiet sort of woman - one who keeps to herself and seems unflappable, even when you're at your most nerve-wracking. Yes, she's rock-solid. Yes, she spares you the… |
