After a car bomb detonated near the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic in Palm Springs on May 17, Dr. Maher Abdallah took in what remained of his destroyed office.
"All my books were burned," he recalled, let alone all the structural damage that the building withstood.
But one item in the rubble stood out. Among the badly burnt pages was one chapter that survived, which had the word "safe" written on it, he said.
