Mysticism: 1) The doctrine or belief that direct knowledge of God, of spiritual truth, etc., is attainable . . . in a way differing from ordinary sense perception or the use of logical reasoning. 2) Any type of theory asserting the possibility of attaining knowledge or power through faith or spiritual insight. 3) Hence, vague speculation.

The most famous “oldest American” is Folsom man, known by his peculiar, fluted spearheads. These “points” have turned up in many parts of the U.S., and since they have been found with the bones of extinct animals, they are supposed to be about 10,000 years old. But Folsom man himself is an anthropological ghost; his own bones have not been found. About a year ago, Keith Glasscock, a pipeline welder and amateur archaeologist, spent a Sunday afternoon poking around the Scharbauer Ranch near Midland, Texas.

But maybe more notably, Williams also revealed that she has brought back one of her iconic looks: hair beads. Of course, the hair beads were very much a part of Serena's and Venus Williams' look when they first stormed on to the tennis scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The beads were not without controversy. Some criticized the look at the time, possibly uncomfortable with the idea of two young girls from Compton stirring up the conservative and fashion-rigid world of tennis.

When a child kills, does he instantly become an adult? Or does he maintain some trappings of childhood, despite the gravity of his actions? These are the questions plaguing the American legal system today, as the violent acts of juvenile offenders continue to make headlines. Wednesday, 14-year-old Nathaniel Brazill was found guilty of second-degree murder for killing his English teacher last year. The charge usually carries a prison term of up to 30 years, but Brazille’s defense team is hopeful the sentencing judge will be more lenient in this case.

The holy month of Ramadan started early for Muslims in Gaza this year. In some sense, we’ve been fasting since October. But for tragic reasons. Ramadan has a special place in every Muslim’s heart. We wait for it all year. As a small child, I remember my excitement at hanging colorful lanterns on the house.
