That story shows the tranquil days of a newly married and youthful Senator from Massachusetts at home with a toddler in Georgetown, the moments of total loneliness on airport ramps and in strange motels when few people knew who Jack and Jackie really were, the dejected Kennedy who thought he was losing it all in West Virginia or Oregon, the hoopla of the convention and the moment when Jack asked Lyndon Johnson to take the vice-presidential nomination...
...presents risks for coalition forces. It is instructive to spend a night with the 82nd Airborne's Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Brigade, bivouacked in southern Baghdad. An Iraqi informant reports that 12 to 20 suspected resistance leaders from Afghanistan and Syria are meeting in a mosque near the airport.

So far there has been only one offer—a proposal to meet in a rest stop outside Newark. Colbert is reportedly planning a counteroffer that involves a Denny’s in the Bronx...
...Lanka's growth rate had halved. Tourism and tea exports remained relatively strong, and in the 1990s, Sri Lankans fancied that the country's economy had learned to live with the fighting. That illusion ended in 2001, when the LTTE launched an attack on Sri Lanka's only international airport: tourists stayed away, insurance companies slapped a surcharge on all goods shipped to Sri Lankan ports, and the economy slipped into its worst recession in decades...
