...Schladming in November, recovered to take second place to the season's top downhiller Stephan Eberharter at Wengen in January. Third in that race was Josef Strobl, who fell in training for the next race, tearing knee ligaments and putting him out of action for six months. Robert Brunner, agent for a number of top Austrian skiers, is, like the racers, philosophical about the dangers. "There is a risk every racer takes when he goes downhill," he says. "They go very fast. They all live with the risks...
This is what the government says Lindh told an FBI agent in interviews on Dec. 9 and Dec. 10, interviews that will provide the bulk of the prosecution's case: after converting to Islam in the late '90s, Lindh traveled to Pakistan to study the religion and learn Arabic.

Best-actress laurels don't normally go to ladies who lunge, as one could tell from the look on Garner's face when she accepted the award. What does one do after a surprise like that...
...journalist, lured by the promise of an exclusive interview, is taken hostage by a militant group calling itself The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty. The group, using the free email account kidnapperguy@hotmail.com, claims the reporter is a CIA agent - no, wait, a Mossad agent - and gives the U.S. 24 hours - no, make that 48 hours - to meet its demands, which range from freeing all Pakistani terror detainees to releasing a halted U.S. shipment of F-16 fighter jets to the Pakistani government...
