...failure of Arafat's strategy to push its own claims for leadership. The likely response? "Arafat will probably try to rally the Palestinians behind him and get them to take action in support of his demands. He may be hoping that a couple of flare-ups will bring the fire brigade from Washington," says Hamad. "But the fire brigade may be out of water...
...Rewards bring people out of the woodwork who would not normally come forward," says UCLA law professor and former public defender Peter Arenella. "Some of them have valuable information; some do not. The Cosby case suggests that under appropriate circumstances such information will be credited." Credit came to So in the form of a check blown up poster-size to look like the jackpot in a Publishers Clearing House commercial. He pledged to donate part of the money to the Ennis William Cosby Foundation. "I'm not an angel," he said. "But I'm not as bad as many people...
...impossible to think about civilization, responsibility, human possibility, evil--or, of course, God--without confronting Hitler. In this brilliantly skeptical inventory of the world's Hitler-thinking, Rosenbaum analyzes not only the multiple Hitler theories but also the agendas and fantasies that the theorizers bring to their subject.

...space officials, desperately short on cash, admit that they may have to pull the plug (this time deliberately) on the station as early as this year.

"We can manage the initial descent," says space-agency spokesman ANATOLY TKACHYOV, describing a plan to drop the station gradually into descending orbits. If its interlocking modules successfully separate, the station will then tumble piece by piece...
...Which is why you folks don?t tend to do too well as characters. Certainly nobody went to see Guarding Tess. In Absolute Power, you were the bad guys, and the movie was dreadful. And need I bring up First Kid? (I thought I needn?t.) I admit freely that it bothered me when Xander Berkeley turned traitor in Air Force One (although he?s an underrated character actor who was the best non-silicon-based thing in the Pamela Anderson vehicle Barb Wire). So if we can believe what we hear -- that you?d rather see Janet Reno naked...
