...Hizballah is proving far more resilient than Israeli military commanders had expected: Aerial bombardment has failed to dislodge Hizballah fighters, or to prevent them from continuing to rain rockets down on Israel's civilian population centers. Israel has therefore committed ground forces that have fought fierce battles (with substantial Israeli casualties) for control of Hizballah positions at Maroun al-Ras, Bint Jebeil and a handful of smaller villages. But Israeli Defense Force officials say there are at least 170 more such Hizballah strongholds throughout southern Lebanon, and they admit that Israel would have to occupy the territory...

Many are hidden in bunkers that Israeli pilots can't find, which is largely why the infantry was sent in. While ground troops searched for launchers last week, Israeli intelligence pored over all the aerial photos of Lebanon taken by Israeli drones over the past six years, looking for evidence of bunker building so that pilots or ground troops could take out the rocket launchers likely held within.

In "Revolution," there's a last exuberance before everything starts to crumble: acrobats vault onto and over an English phone booth (with the aid of trampolines). It recalls the best routine in La Nouba and is pretty fabulous...
...Finals, which ended Tuesday night with Miami's stirring 95-92 victory in Game 6. He certainly deserves most of the compliments - he did average 34 points a game in the finals, in one of the most dominating individual performances in recent NBA history. And indeed, Wade's aerial escapades may eventually catch up to Jordan's. But for the moment, let Michael just be the greatest player of all time. And let Wade be the best player in the world right...
