Tom weeks

I've been on a diet for two weeks and all I've lost is two weeks.

When you drive around Biloxi and see all those houses that have been very badly damaged and see people living in the rubble for weeks and weeks, it's easy to understand how traumatizing this has been for these families.

The feeling on the ground here was that neither the family nor the Cuban-American leadership had any intention of ever handing the boy over. For weeks they'd essentially told the government that the only way to get the boy was to come and fetch him. To anyone watching this unfold over the last few weeks, the claim that a deal was near in the wee hours before the raid rings a little hollow.

She loves to do this. She's been so excited about it for the last three weeks.

There seemed to be a lot of focus on government and political themes.
