Every priest has a parish, so to speak.

They help with mental health issues like stress. As you know, we have a number of embassies that have been attacked and bombed, so post-traumatic stress relief with employees and their families is an important part of the work they do.

Members [of the foreign service] are basically a pretty hardy bunch -- and we only put them in posts that can support their medical needs in the first place.

It's certainly fair to say that medicine is practiced differently around the world and we try to work as much as possible closely with the local hospitals and clinics. And in many places, we use the local health care facilities if we think they are adequate to use.

It was a toast, not a roast.

I am persuaded that every time a man smiles - but much more so when he laughs - it adds something to this fragment of life.
