...resolved, Cheney's Arab hosts informed him, the U.S. won't get their help against Iraq. Senior Administration officials worked hard to contain their dismay as the Israeli-Palestinian issue trampled the Vice President's agenda. At a joint press conference in Yemen with Cheney and President Ali Abdullah Saleh, the Yemeni leader lambasted Israel and opposed U.S. action against Iraq. But when a U.S. interpreter briefed reporters on Saleh's remarks, he omitted the harsh details. U.S. officials blamed Sharon for inciting the Arabs just as Cheney was trying to woo them. "Let's just say," a senior official...
Some supporters of Denzel Washington (Training Day), Will Smith (Ali) and Halle Berry (Monster's Ball) are accused of playing the race card--whispering that if an actor of color doesn't win, it proves that Hollywood is antiblack. Some people competing against A Beautiful Mind--the biopic of schizophrenic mathematician John Nash, with the burly, brawly Crowe as its star--are drawing attention to incidents in the film's source book of anti-Semitic delusions and intense emotional relationships with other men, neither of which appeared in the movie; they're playing the Jewish card and the gay card...

Williams, who took as many standing 8 counts as Ali did in his career, gamely said in the post-fight interview that he wasn't really hurt, just dazed. "I spent the entire decade of the 80s dazed, so I'm used to it," countered Bonaduce, who has one shtick and works it harder than Yakov Smirnoff...
...longtime terrorist hideout. The FBI will also dispatch agents. U.S. intelligence agencies believe that al-Qaeda members will use Yemen as a base, because like Pakistan it offers such an inviting mix of political instability, Islamic extremism and enough infrastructure to set up shop. In the past, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been a reluctant U.S. partner. The FBI complains that Yemeni authorities cooperated only "grudgingly and slowly," as one official puts it, with the investigation of the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Aden. Since Sept. 11, Saleh, looking to strengthen his rule and reap economic...
