...beginning, the U.S.-Yemeni cultural chasm seemed comic. "Sometimes the Yemenis were completely baffled by our requests," says a U.S. official. Such as the one for mud. Last autumn the FBI said it would pay the Yemenis $1 million for a bargeful of mud from beneath the explosion site. After some resistance and suspicion, the Yemenis smiled, pocketed the $1 million and let the dredging begin. The FBI shipped the mud off to Dubai, and agents sifted through it for forensic evidence--pieces of the boat and the two bombers that could provide important clues. Now there are no longer...
...turned twenty in a different world from yours, dearest Justin. Late Ike, pre-Camelot. My birthday was the first day of autumn, 1960. John Kennedy was running for President. He was a bright new dime fresh from the mint. That seems like a very long time ago. You round the corner into a world that is in so many ways so much better... and in many ways, terribly worse.

...Then the seduction began. The lure of seeing his opinions printed verbatim in the New Yorker and the Wall Street Journal would be a heady tonic for anyone who moves in the power circles of Washington D.C., let alone a district court judge in the autumn of his years.

...album's best tracks is Always, a duet between Seger and Canadian troubadour Ron Sexsmith. Seger has a bright, brittle voice, like a leaf that's turned some colorful shade of autumn. Her vocals contrast nicely with Sexsmith's plaintive tenor. Always has some elements a listener might associate with folk or country--including gentle acoustic-guitar work--but the track, tastefully sweetened with synthesizers, never settles into any one genre. "I know what I want to see," sings Seger on the song. "And I know where I want to be." Seger may have a peripatetic past...
...they will be pushed by an intriguing incoming freshman class. Courtney Bergman is the top-ranked American female tennis player heading to college this autumn. Highly recruited by superpower Stanford, Bergman chose to stay on the east coast, bolstering Harvard's lineup for next season. She will be joined by Susanna Lingman, ranked in the top 35 nationally and sought after by UCLA, Ashley Hyotte from Sudbury, Massachusetts, and Helis Zulijani from Croatia, who was once ranked No. 2 in the country's 16-and-under age group...
