...major Palestinian city under complete Israeli occupation, a status that was originally supposed to end last March, if only the two sides could agree on the terms for self-rule.

...Gates. He has them already. (Note to the hard-core faithful: the next version of Halo will not, repeat not, be ready in time for the launch of Xbox 360.

He takes the crises as they come, handles them as best he can and moves on to the next...

He's a crime-scene photographer who often commits the crimes he photographs. He is modernism's eerie representative: clever, amoral, unpredictable except for his insatiable bloodlust. He is one scary...
