...Afghan faction that didn't want Karzai in the first place. By going after the killers, the country's interim leader is headed for a showdown with the powerful warlords who control Afghanistan's foreign affairs, military and security forces--and even his own palace guards. His green-striped cape sodden with rain during the funeral ceremony, Karzai never looked so alone...
...recent night, photographer Gary Laufman was telling his date about a tequila flavored with habanero peppers. "I wanted to call 911," he said. "They could use it at Cape Canaveral." Tex Currie, 49, a securities broker, boasted that he could identify 50 tequilas in a blind test.

When fellow middle-aged New York songwriter Paul Simon staged The Cape Man, his first musical on Broadway, he wrote all new material. The show tanked. So BILLY JOEL isn't taking any chances.

"We'll just have to wait and see." But public opinion is so firmly behind the activists that drugmakers in South...
...just activists who are making noise. In defiance of the national government, two of South Africa's nine provinces - Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal - have declared their intention to provide anti-AIDS drugs to all HIV-positive pregnant women and their children. The Congress of South African Trade Unions, a close political partner of the ruling African National Congress, allied itself with Achmat's drug purchase in Brazil. Many state doctors and health officials, especially in the rural areas, are quietly accepting offers of funding from the private sector and overseas to obtain antiretrovirals. "It's a revolt that...
