...coincidence last week, those images, which had become so iconic that many Americans did not realize they were prohibited, resurfaced in two places. On April 18, the Seattle Times ran a photo taken by an employee of a defense contractor in Kuwait of a plane filled with coffins. The cargo worker, Tami Silicio, was promptly fired. Then Russ Kick of Tucson, Ariz., put 361 Dover photos (all from the past year, including images of the coffins of the shuttle Columbia crew) on his site, www.thememoryhole.org--having sprung them from the Air Force through a Freedom of Information Act request...
...Jose, Calif., where his father Pat Sr. is a lawyer and former college wrestler. Like a lot of young Californians, the long-haired Pat Jr. could embody the surfer dude. In fact, dude was one of his favorite words. His other favorite word isn't printable. Cargo shorts, flip-flops and T shirts were his standard outfit. But at Arizona State University, he had the brains to get his marketing degree in 3 1/2 years--and with a 3.84-grade-point average.

Friends Again GERMANY Frosty relations with the U.S. seemed to thaw as Chancellor Gerhard Schröder met U.S. President George W. Bush at the White House. While Schröder insisted that German troops would not go to Iraq , he also said Berlin will not stand in the way if NATO decides to send peacekeeping troops there, and will lead the way in forgiving part of Iraq's $120 billion foreign debt...
Those closest to the gears of the global economy were the first to notice the coming storm in China. Albert Stahl, a London ship broker, watched the spot-market price for cargo-vessel leases rise last winter to $22,000 a day for a ship big enough to transport iron ore. He assumed the spike was due to the impending Iraq war. But through the summer the price kept increasing; shipowners even stopped giving quotes in expectation that prices would jump again the following day. Then Stahl began hearing reports of vessels the size of three football fields anchored...
