TIME's Verbatim column quoted rich socialite Paris Hilton, who said, "Every decade has an iconic blond like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana, and right now I'm that icon" [July 31]. Was she kidding? Hilton couldn't hold the handbags of those women. They were just as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. Hilton is no more than a lifeless doll. TIFFANY SERVICE Utica...
...human interaction with narcotics is powerful and complex, truly fascinating and the topic of a future column. Here I'm just giving the bottom line and its straight from my heart: if you break a bone, have an operation, wrench your back and get a few tablets for short term use - fine.

An Israeli reconnaissance drone whines directly overhead and both Hizballah men know that the bombs pounding Froun could soon be directed against them if they are spotted...
...Army brigadier general now at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, raised some Pentagon eyebrows last week when he suggested the U.S. Army open a recruiting station in India's capital, Delhi. By tapping into non-citizens eager to wear a U.S. Army uniform, he wrote in a column in the Christian Science Monitor, last year's shortfall of 7,000 Army recruits would evaporate. "Instead of sitting back and waiting for these people to trickle in," he says, "we could go out and find the ones we want." The Army says it's interested in the idea...
