...going to roll over. In Washington the European Union delivered a formal protest to the State Department. In Brussels the European Commission proposed making it illegal for companies to comply with Helms-Burton and easing the way for firms to countersue in European courts. The commission is preparing a blacklist of U.S. companies and citizens that file suits against European firms, and threatens to refuse them visas. The E.U. insists that both U.S. actions are against international law and is challenging them as a violation of the new U.S.-supported World Trade Organization rules...
...paradoxical art of being a bigot while arguing from an institutionally supported "intellectual" position. Henry Louis Gates and A.

With communism discredited and the Middle East bent on peace, his revolutionary credentials had outlived their usefulness. His penchant for whiskey, women and penthouse suites had earned him a reputation for being...
...ideologues are screened out. By design, the trainees in this unit are longtime residents of Jordan who have wives and children but are in their late 20s and early 30s, too young to have fought in the Arab-Israeli wars. ("It is impossible that they are on any Israeli blacklist," says an instructor.) "We're going to Jericho as policemen, not as soldiers," Al Sadi reminds his men. "Being a policeman is much harder. The policeman has to help everyone -- no matter what his nationality -- and forget about his own identity and feelings...
