...Netherlands, and that it's gaining popularity across Europe. Cocaine use is now higher in Spain than in the U.S., according to the U.N., and authorities fear that the Continent may be heading down the same path from which the U.S. has just started to emerge. Some admit that they are badly unprepared for what's happening. "It's caught us by surprise," says Carel Edwards, head of the European Commission's drug coordination unit in Brussels...
...hits he crafted for the Ronettes and the Righteous Brothers are the music equivalent to the Sistine Chapel; the flimsy singles those acts (and many others) released after they broke with him are paint-by-numbers pop. As much as a Monkees fan like myself hates to admit it, their records were never quite the same after they discarded Don Kirshner, who took his team of songwriters and backup musicians with him. And speaking of the boy-band era, remember when Britney Spears and the non-Timberlake members of 'N Sync decided to not rely so heavily on hit-crafters...
...problem with My December is that it isn't particularly great rock. Even those dismayed by what American Idol hath wrought (consider my hand raised) have to admit Clarkson has a strapping, swooping voice. But it lacks a defined personality, reflected in the bloated industrial-Pat Benatar knockoffs ("Haunted," "Don't Waste My Time," the single "Never Again") that dominate the album.

...UNIFIL officers privately admit that they are relatively vulnerable against determined assailants, despite increased security measures around their observation posts and hill top bases in south Lebanon. Sources told TIME that the UNIFIL headquarters regularly receives unspecified intelligence warnings of possible impending attacks, such as bomb-laden cars entering the southern Lebanon border district. "The problem is that there's nothing hard enough for us to act upon," a UNIFIL officer told TIME a day before Sunday's fatal bombing. "We are a soft target and it's only a matter of time before we are hit." Immediately after Sunday...
...with a botched interview in which he failed to get his Shi'ites and Sunnis in the right terrorism groups. That slipup got lots of attention, including a lengthy article in the Washington Post. Reyes says the interview was a "screwup." His lack of guile and his ability to admit a mistake are evidence of good character. But his gaffe played into a racist assumption that stretches at least as far back as the 1970s, when California Congressman Ron Dellums, a black from Oakland with a long history of civil rights and union activism, won a seat on the House...
