...illusions about leading the Wiz to a title this year. The plan was to shape them into the team he wanted and use millions of dollars in savings on the team's salary cap--Jordan makes only $1 million--available next year to sign a topflight free agent. Jordan will play one more year, the last last hurrah. But the Wizards have progressed so far that perhaps they will shop for a trade this year that will get them deeper into the play-offs. The Atlantic Division, where the Wiz play most of their games, is ripe for the picking...

The pilot says the agent, identified in news reports as Walied Schater, got belligerent. Schater, through lawyers, says he was discriminated against because...
Would-be shoe bomber Richard C. Reid's possible links to the radical jihadist movement are being urgently probed by authorities in the U.S. as well as in several European countries where the British ex-con traveled recently. But despite some fervent speculation, FBI agents so far have no evidence that Reid conspired with others in his attempt to ignite explosives hidden in his sneakers while flying from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22. Reid did attend the same London mosque as Zacarias Moussaoui, now on trial for terrorism conspiracy in U.S. federal court. But neither...
