...underwear battle worth picking? Those who think so are worried that the thong is a blatant sexual advertisement or, at least, a tempting tease for the opposite sex. This may not be so, according to developmental psychologist Deborah Tolman, author of Dilemmas of Desire: Teenage Girls Talk About Sexuality (Harvard University Press; 2002).

But even if it's in character, Ball's removal, if true, raises serious questions. After all, BSkyB...
...Americans "blinded," a Taliban recruit in the Pakistani border town of Chaman told TIME. Furthermore, a Taliban logistics officer tells TIME that the Taliban has established cells inside Afghanistan to carry out smaller-scale attacks, distribute propaganda and burn down schools. Afghan leaders want Pakistan to crack down on blatant Taliban activity in its tribal areas. U.S. officials may consider the war over, but the Taliban's jihad...
