"After we signed our final contracts, we took all the Disney lawyers to a three-hour, raucous, rollicking dinner," recalls Harvey...
...black heterodox Muslim Darfuris while beating back Arab militias who are quietly seen by many in the Arab world as engaging in a noble holy war. If the war in Iraq has boosted the number of terrorists, a Western-led or Western-encouraged intervention in Sudan would be a bonanza. Osama bin Laden, who once operated in Sudan with the government’s blessing, has said as much...
