...photo op of Hamas leaders with a??free and smiling Briton--BBC correspondent Alan Johnston, released after 114 days of Gaza captivity--is, among other things, a huge publicity coup for Hamas and its leader, Ismail Haniyeh. It allows the embattled Haniyeh to show he can deliver positive results in his new role as the top authority in the Gaza Strip and to say, with some legitimacy, that he can bring stability back to Gaza's lawless streets...
TIME asked, "Can An Audience Love A??Rat?" [June 18]. What a question! Millions of pet-rat lovers around the globe (including me) will turn out in droves to watch Ratatouille's Remy turn his dream of being a gourmet chef into reality.

Starting in 1967, when she arrived in Saigon, the enterprising reporter earned acclaim for her coolheaded front-line chronicles of the carnage, plus her empathic portraits of innocent victims. In 1971 the raspy-voiced New Zealander was captured by the North Vietnamese while covering a battle in Cambodia. Before she and her five colleagues were released from their 23-day ordeal, a media...
