Table of contents for the week of July 19, 2002

FEATURES

Dan Kennedy, the father of a young girl with dwarfism, attends the annual convention of the Little People of America and learns more about the culture that awaits her.

For years, former Catholic clergymen were savaged by Church leaders for leaving the priesthood to marry. In view of the hierarchy's indulgent treatment of predator priests, Kristen Lombardi reports, that's a hard pill to swallow.

Nationwide, an estimated two million people are caught shoplifting annually. And, according to many in the business of retail security, the situation's going to get worse. Chris Wright reports.

In our weekly Q&A, Tamara Wieder talks body shop with Zayna Gold.

In the Phoenix editorial, we offer Kudos for Robert Reich's initiative on the city's crime problem and point out what's worth preserving in the Grossman candidacy.

In Talking Politics, Mayor Menino has finally acknowledged publicly that Boston is in the grip of rising street crime. Seth Gitell asks, what should he do next?

In Out There, Rebecca Wieder stays up late in search of what she's missed.

Nina Willdorf on women's surfer chic in Hip Check.

Plus, this just in:

FUNERAL DERANGEMENTS: Laugh rites
‘KISSING THE PINKIE RING’: Political party
CAMPAIGN SNAPSHOT: Southie newcomers have clout
LAST-MINUTE RALLY: Five sensible bills
CAMPAIGN 2002: Bowing out gracefully
