DIED. ALAN BATES, 69, bluff, beguiling English actor; in London. A modest giant bestriding nearly a half-century of excellence, the Derbyshire lad co-starred at age 22 in the original London stage production of Look Back in Anger. But the Angry Young Man tag never quite fit Bates' protean gifts. As a charming killer in Nothing but the Best or a Jewish prisoner in The Fixer, wrestling nude in Women in Love or incarnating the lonely spy Guy Burgess in An Englishman Abroad, he brought strength, delicacy, wit and humanity to each role. In films, he often chaperoned showier...
...widow displays no anger over the loss of her husband. "Joining the military is voluntary," Jill says. "He felt lucky to be an American and wanted to be part of making a difference. He died doing what he wanted to be doing." Some days, she acknowledges, "I want to curl up and cry and be miserable." But she adds, "I can't. They need me." They are the three daughters Grace, 2, Paige, 1, and baby Cooper, who arrived Dec. 19. Grace is old enough to know something is amiss. "She still asks about Ben all the time," says Jill...
This is not to say Gore's motivation for the endorsement was entirely negative: he clearly admires Dean's brand of anger. And, yes, they do have similar positions on the war.

...Dean's anger is tactical, not visceral. His brash, peremptory manner has camouflaged the fact that he is by far the best politician among the 2004 Democrats--which is one reason Republicans should postpone the champagne if Dean wins the nomination. The doctor diagnosed the Democratic electorate before any of his opponents did, and he shaped his candidacy to fit the mood, which was, in a word, ballistic. Furthermore, Dean understood that party activists were not just angry at George W. Bush; they were furious with the Democrats in Washington who were letting a minority-elected President have...
Among the number of Afghan casualties inflicted by the U.S., the mistaken killing of 15 children stands out. "We are very angry," says Ghulab Khan, a local farmer observing the row of eight rocky graves in Paktia. The incidents are bound to inflame anger at American soldiers and the pro-U.S. President, Hamid Karzai. The deaths embarrassed U.S. military commanders struggling to bring security and normality to the country, and deepened worries among Afghan authorities and civilians about the accuracy and skill of U.S. counterinsurgency methods. "It shows the need for better coordination," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Omar Samad...
