Indeed, the bombings could provoke Pakistan to refuse to return to the talks, which are being held in Geneva. Last Thursday, Afghan jets struck anew at Teri Mangal, one of the border villages hit just three days earlier. This time five Afghan refugees were killed, and eight others injured. The attack seemed to mock the angry diplomatic note of protest issued just one day earlier by the Pakistani government. It demanded that the regime in Kabul "desist from these barbarous and wanton attacks on defenseless civilians...
...player in the early convolutions of the drama was Jim Bakker, the religious entrepreneur who reigned over the domain called Heritage USA. Nestled in the pine-carpeted piedmont just south of the border between North and South Carolina, Heritage is the third most popular theme park in the country (after the two Disney operations). It drew more than 6 million people last year to its 500-room hotel, 2,500-seat church, five-acre water park, and mock gable-fronted "Main Street USA," an enclosed mall with 25 stores and a 650-seat cafeteria...

After canvassing the candidates, Clint found his man: "The guy I talked into it was me." Last December he closed the deal for about $5 million and has begun modest restoration work on some of the rental cabins. Says Mac McDonald, managing editor of the Carmel...
...rise condominiums. Many of these units went on the market as short-term rentals. Thus for much less than the $140 price of a cramped hotel room, students can pool their resources for a two-bedroom luxury suite. Because it is only a 30-minute drive to the Mexican border, South Padre Island has benefited as more states raised their drinking age to 21. Last week chartered buses delivered revelers to the cantinas of Matamoros, where the legal age is 18 and a case of Corona beer sells for just...
