...hazardous to little more than one's ego. That may have changed with the shocking murder last Friday of Diet member Koki Ishii. The 61-year-old Ishii was steps away from his car outside his home when he was stabbed repeatedly with what appeared to be a 30-cm sashimi knife by Hakusui Ito, a 38-year-old with ties to right-wing extremists. Ito fled the scene but turned himself in to the police the following day. The news stunned lawmakers, many of whom were in the middle of a budget debate when the murder took place...
...trouble seems to be a big problem. The U.S. has World No. 1 Tiger Woods, No. 2 Phil Mickelson and three other players in the Top 10. Europe has just two, Harrington and Spain's Sergio Garc?a.

...what, exactly, will people really want to see on a portable 5-cm screen? "Lingerie," suggests T-Mobile's Tube station ads. That may just be a bit of mildly naughty fun, but a 2001 survey of users of i-mode, the popular Japanese wireless Web service, found that 77% of those aged 20 to 40 received e-mail from porn sites on their phones. Already in the U.K., Playboy has been busy putting together deals with networks to provide, ahem, content. "In the early days on the content side, I think [sex] will be a big, big driver," says...
