Then the journal&#8217;s new editor, Erica Fleishman, gave me the opportunity I was hoping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I noted that Mrs. Lee was early in her third pregnancy when I was getting ready to see her in the office. “How are you today?” I asked “Very well, thank you. The morning sickness is getting better,” was her accented reply. My examination showed that the size of her uterus was compatible with her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was an accident. In 1994 I spent a day with the political reporter, Robert Fisk, in Egypt. I had never heard of Fisk before, but the experience changed me.

		<description><![CDATA[If you were designing a perfect family planning method, what characteristics should it have? Certainly, the method would be highly effective and safe.
