...judge from the media coverage--the instant prime-time TV specials; the nonstop frenzy on CNN and in the newspapers; the rapid, rabid airing of the most lurid speculation--you would think Michael Jackson's arrest on charges of molesting a 12-year-old boy was the surprise ending of a story rather than the next and perhaps last act in a tale that threatens to carry with it a tragic inevitability...
...Wednesday, Santa Barbara County district attorney Thomas Sneddon Jr. announced with unsuppressed glee that he had issued a warrant for Jackson's arrest, apostrophizing, "Get over here and get checked in."

Security agencies were on high alert; Italian officials even discussed closing the Rome and Milan metros in the final 48 hours of Ramadan. But authorities say last week's arrests were the culmination of long investigations, not hasty responses to the Istanbul blasts. And some of them were meant to thwart a different threat: the export of suicide bombers from Europe, mainly to Iraq. Groups like Ansar al-Islam have reportedly stepped up recruitment on the Continent. "There has been a call...
