...talent-spotted by jihadists for deeper indoctrination - and finally groomed for murder. In Leeds, the nexus for their slide over the edge appears to have been a youth outreach project that was an offshoot of the government-funded Hamara ("Ours," in Urdu) community center located in the rundown Beeston area. Khan did youth work there, as did another man, Naveed Fiaz, 29, who was arrested last week. Hussain and Tanweer regularly attended the youth center and played soccer there. Khan was described as an influential "father figure" to them. A local official told the Guardian he had reported...
...gathered outside the King Kebab, a takeaway joint on the end of a strip of budget shops that appear to be closed much of the time. Ali, Pav, Shy, Raja, Safi, Asif and Hasif are talking about their friend Kaki, another local boy, born nine miles from their Beeston neighborhood. "He was the best lad," says one, "everybody liked him." "He was gentle" and "he got on with everybody." Ameer, a younger boy in a nearby park, could "definitely not" believe it was Kaki.

...fans are left with a season of 144 games per club, instead of the usual 162; players will find much less demand for their services, and some small-market teams, like the Expos and Kansas City Royals, have already upset the competitive balance by conducting clearance sales. Says Paul Beeston, president of the (still) defending world champion Toronto Blue Jays: "While it's nice to be back, this is a less-than-ideal situation. The worst thing is that we still don't have a deal. The best thing is that we have done such irreparable harm to the game...
Rebels by Phone. British Newsmen Richard Beeston of the London News Chronicle and John Mossman of the London Daily Herald hung their cab with pictures of Nasser to disarm Iraqi border guards, drove through 130° heat from Damascus to Baghdad. (From the Herald's foreign desk to Mossman came the wry plea: "For God's sake, put up the meter flag!") TIME-LIFE'S Correspondent Robert Morse and Photographer Larry Burrows made it along the same route, found Baghdad street peddlers doing a brisk trade hawking pictures of the mutilated bodies of Premier Nuri asSaid...
