American investigators are trying to persuade Musharraf to let them expand their bin Laden search into the tribal belt, but the Pakistanis have "a different agenda," says a Western diplomat in Islamabad. "The Americans' aim, obviously, is to get the bad guys." The Pakistani strategy is to extend the government's influence in these lawless areas by winning over the local chieftains, a kind of mini--nation building. That's why Musharraf is wary of mishaps like the one in which two U.S. missiles recently strayed inside the Pakistani border and landed a few hundred yards from a tribal militia...
...balls and glass tumblers; the “Across America: W’O4” interstate collection of magnets, racing T’s, sweatshirts and—believe it or not—cufflinks; the sleek monochromatic “W” line complete with sterling belt buckles, microfiber jackets, running shorts and tote bags for your modern businesswoman on the go; the country western line of bandanas, bolo ties, leather coasters and, of course, cowboy hats; and finally, the sporty and stylish “Kid Gear,” which patronizingly advertises...

Wearing a fluorescent orange bikini, she slips off her flip-flops, adjusts the white-leather knife belt slung low around her hips, wades about 10 yards out into the shallows of the Atlantic and turns back toward the beach. "And action!" director Lee Tamahori calls through a megaphone. Berry dips under the surface, pops back up, runs her hands through her hair, then sashays toward shore...
Tired of having to wear a cell phone on your belt wherever you go? In the future, you may not have to. Two British researchers have developed a prototype "phone tooth" that can be embedded in a molar and receive cell-phone calls. The signals are translated into vibrations that travel from the tooth to your skull to your inner ear--where only you can hear them. Great for giving instructions to spies and NFL quarterbacks. Not so great for the rest of us, because while our teeth may talk to us, we can't talk back to them. INVENTORS...
