...year-old son at a nearby school that same morning. "I could have made more elaborate bombs than these guys," she scoffed. Athens sees scores of such attacks a year; Mary Bossi, a terrorism expert at the Athens-based Greek National Defense College, estimates at least 270 leftist or anarchist cells operate in and around the city. Most incidents are designed to send a message, however obscure, not to kill. That's cold comfort, however, to the other 201 countries sending teams to the Athens Olympics. The timing of last week's explosions - precisely 100 days before the opening...

"We're still taking this extremely seriously because we know these people are very organized and intelligent," says a French security official.

In 1931, after a year hunting game on the Ivory Coast, Cartier-Bresson had a fateful chance encounter when he came across a photograph by the Hungarian Martin Munkacsi: three boys leaping...

O'Connor lived surrounded by her famous peacocks on a farm in Milledgeville, Ga., her body restricted by disease, her imagination ranging with strange originality through a universe of her creation.
