…mans as the culmination of God’s specific acts of creation during six days approximately 6,000 years ago.

…hy of international coverage because the Palestinian women had broken “the code of silence” by resorting to Israeli courts.

…f famous forbears. “The bridegroom is also a grandson of Baron Georg von Trapp,” concludes one, “The family’s story was the basis of The Sound of Music.” In this late-modern moment, there are fewer von Trapps to honor, and more Maidenform investors to assuage.
