When his brother, Abdel Rahman Aref, took over, he called off plans for a new government offensive, declared that the Kurds were "our blood brothers." Aref freed five rebel leaders from house arrest and conceded two long-standing demands: a measure of local rule for Kurds, and Kurdish-language instruction in their schools. But Aref had a demand of his own. He wanted Rebel Chieftain Mullah Mustafa Barzani to disband his 15,000-man army, called pesh mergas (meaning "those willing...

So long as the Land of the Free remains in the province of free nations, Southeast Asia is secure. And given...
...crime is solved almost at once. Not for a moment does anyone mistake the dead man for his killer. Hiding out in France awaiting arrest, Hermann sets down in his last weeks the narrative that constitutes Nabokov's book, and rages at the perversity of the world, which will not accept at face value-refuses even to recognize-his work of deceptive...
