...angry over proposed cuts in the state's already skimpy health program sent their children to the Governor's office with valentines pleading DON'T BREAK OUR HEARTS. Tennessee's health plan, hailed only a few years ago as a national model for covering the working poor, is falling apart as its cost approaches $6 billion a year. As many as 500,000 people may be dropped. In Florida a 1999 state Chamber of Commerce survey found that 91% of businesses provided health insurance for their employees; by last fall, the figure had dropped...
People who make a living taking bombs apart don't scare easily. But the FBI laboratory experts who dissected Richard Reid's black suede sneakers were horrified by what they found in the soles: bombs that were, as one agent says, "the first of their kind and extraordinarily well concealed...
...death of Rahman, the tourism and aviation minister, is a tragically classic Afghan murder drama. And it raises fears that Karzai's coalition, welded in part by foreign aid and B-52 bombers, might be falling apart.

...having too much to eat is a dream. One of the dishes in the book is mjadarah, or rice with lentils. These ingredients keep well, which helps to explain the dish's popularity in a war zone - a fact, Jamal points out, recognized in United Nations food relief packages. Apart from rice and lentils, mjadarah requires only onions, salt, cumin, water and samneh, or clarified butter. Jamal says the difficulty non-Arabs have finding ingredients such as samneh, the spice mix fulful bhar or bulgur, the cut wheat essential for tabbouleh, is diminishing as more and more Arabic shops open...
