  2. Better vision another benefit from playing outdoors

  5. Book review: 'The Tenth Parallel' by Eliza Griswold

But don't blame the cultural divide between Islam and Christianity on those "whose faith is bound to their struggle for resources and survival."

A columnist for the Tel Aviv daily <em>Haaretz</em> praised the eyeglasses for shifting the responsibility to men for their priggishness.
