...desperately poor neighborhood of Sidi Moumen in eastern Casablanca, one of many shanty towns that ring Moroccan cities. Testimony of one terrorist captured during the attack, and two others arrested in the following days, has allowed police to quickly unravel the plot and characters. Officials say most of the bombers were undereducated, unemployed and without hope of escaping Sidi Moumen's dilapidated, crowded, refuse-strewn streets - oases of despair where joblessness exceeds the estimated national rate of 20% and illiteracy runs over 50%. Such conditions are easily exploited by radical Islamist groups like the outlawed Salafia Jihadia and its offshoot...
...libraries, TIME stated that "while coalition forces took pains to safeguard Iraq's oil ministry in Baghdad, they left the nation's cultural heritage wide open" [BAGHDAD'S TREASURES, April 28].

...Yankees make it easy to be a fan. And I wasn’t ready to give up being on the side of the winners. But after this year’s arrogance led to a banal post-season, I became a little more hesitant about feeling the Bronx Bomber love. Then George Steinbrenner made it clear that he would be back to boss Joe Torre around in the bullpen, which has historically meant the demise of the Yankees. The corporate nature of the team was becoming even more sickening, especially after the multi-million dollar cablevision deal...
