Cities across the Midwest and South have experienced a heat wave with temperatures reaching above 100 degrees for 10 days or more in a row. As the nation wilts during an especially brutal summer, warnings have gone out to the elderly to try to stay cool. The problem is, many seniors hear the message but don?t think it applies to them ? because they don?t see themselves as old.

Crack hits Brazil late but hard, and despite booming economy, funds for a fightback are scarce

RIO DE JANEIRO - In the dark before dawn, social workers advance slowly down a narrow road dividing two vast slums, entering a landscape of littered streets and broken-down shacks, where an open-air crack cocaine market does business among piles of rubble. Escorted by police through this "cracolandia," or crackland, they look behind cardboard lean-tos, in corners hidden by overgrown weeds for drug users who emerge, dazed, from ragged blankets. Some fight and run. One frantic young woman, her pregnant belly bulging under her short top, starts crying and pulling at her hair as police officers securing the area try to pacify her. "Calm down, Taiane. Calm down," says an...
