...Officer Daniel Faulkner of the Philadelphia Police Department stopped a Volkswagen, driven by Mr. William Cook, for a routine traffic violation. When he approached the car he was attacked by Cook, and a scuffle ensued. While Faulkner tried to subdue his assailant, Jamal, Cook's brother, approached the scene from across the street and shot Faulkner in the back, at point blank range. As Faulkner fell to the ground, he managed to wound Jamal in the stomach. Jamal then stood over the dying officer, held his gun inches from his face and fired a final, fatal shot...
Last Thursday, when a federal judge in Mexico City sentenced Raul Salinas de Gortari to 50 years in prison for orchestrating the 1994 murder of his former brother-in-law Jose Francisco Ruiz Massieu, all Mexico seemed to exhale. Salinas, the older brother of former President Carlos Salinas, has been a symbol of the nation's rot.

"Jordan suddenly has an acting head of state who wasn't even in contention for the crown a week ago, and this creates a measure of uncertainty," says TIME Middle East bureau chief Scott MacLeod. "Not that there's any reason...
...Hassan ran the kingdom during King Hussein's six-month cancer treatment in the U.S., but on his return last week the king was plainly unhappy with his brother's performance. "The letter explaining Hassan's ouster as crown prince was more abrasive than it needed to be," says MacLeod. "It refers to palace infighting and meddling in the army during his absence, and serious differences of opinion over who would succeed Hassan to the throne." Hussein always wanted to leave the throne to his own progeny, and when Hassan cast doubt on that prospect, the king wielded...
