...market has seen plenty of violence. David Boneh, a shopkeeper, points along the alley of stalls his grandfather built in 1923 to the spot where a suicide bomber blew himself up in 1997. Boneh then turns to indicate where another bomber detonated his charge moments later, in front of the display of pickles and olives. That attack killed 15 people; the bomber's ravaged torso landed on Boneh. Though there were bigger attacks elsewhere in Jerusalem, the two bombings in the crowded alleys of Mahaneh Yehuda during the intifadeh added to its status as a byword for the horrible inevitability...
RELEASED. JIANG YANYONG, 72, prominent surgeon who blew the whistle on China's SARS cover-up; after 49 days in custody; in Beijing. Chinese authorities, apparently bowing to pressure inside and outside the country, allowed Jiang--who has also been an outspoken critic of the 1989 violence at Tiananmen Square--to return home, and he is not expected to be charged...
...aides suspected. Only Johnson, Cahill and scheduler Alyssa Mastromonaco, who was charged with the under-the-radar logistics, ever really knew which potential running mates Kerry was talking to and when. Mastromonaco arranged Kerry's secret meeting with Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack in San Francisco, but Dick Gephardt blew his cover when reporters caught him sneaking into Kerry's hideaway office in the Capitol.

About once every 10 days or so, Johnson would deliver to Kerry a fat accordion file of background memos, speeches the various candidates...

In April 2003, shortly after he sent an open letter to the media detailing how the Chinese government was covering up an outbreak of SARS in Beijing, the septuagenarian retired People's Liberation Army (P.L.A.) surgeon told TIME he had no reason to fear punishment for challenging China's official line. He was, after all, high-ranking in the military, a veteran member of the Communist Party and a doctor exercising what he called his "professional responsibility to protect the health of the people...
...facing. In the weeks to come, the White House will also have to deal with the 9/11 commission's final report, the congressional investigations into the CIA's bungled assessment of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and a special prosecutor's hunt for the White House leakers who blew the cover of CIA secret operative Valerie Plame. Not only is the Administration defending itself against the Democrats, the investigators and the media. Two other serious, surreptitious--and quite possibly unprecedented--battles are going on: the intelligence community is at war with the White House, and the uniformed military...
