Marrakesh [23 April 2004]
by: James Henderson
'Marrakesh has le temps - zere is ze climate and zere is time for yourself.' He paused to execute a traffic manoeuvre only a Frenchman could conceive. 'Of course, Marrakesh is marginal. People come to get away from convention. Zere is luxe, and luxure: of course sex - soit hetero, soit homosexuel - it is easy in Marrakesh.' There has been a big gay community in Marrakesh, of course, for a long while.

Cultural life in Morocco Today [19 April 2004]
by: John COLLEN
"Morocco," His Majesty, The Late King Hassan II, once said, "is a tree, the roots of which are planted firmly in africa but which has its branches in Europe". This metaphor, better than any other description, sums up the cultural and intellectual life in Morocco today. Deeply attached to the values of Arab- Muslim civilization, the Kingdom of Morocco, of all countries in North Africa, and beyond that, in the Arabic world, has succeeded in bridging the cultures of the countries on the other side of the mediterranean.

Low back pain, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain tumors and more - A brief look at when to see a neurosurgeon [07 April 2004]
by: www.aans.org
Take this quick word association test. What do you think of when you hear “neurosurgeon?” You probably said to yourself “brain surgeon.” You’re half right. Actually, less than half right. Neurosurgeons do operate on the brain and that is their public image. But neurosurgeons spend about 70 percent of their time treating spine problems.
