...other radical Islamist competitor for the mantle of U.S. Public Enemy No. 1 has lately been Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has garnered attention for his bristling hostility to the U.S. and his threat to wipe out Israel, all in the context of his defiance of the West over Iran's nuclear program. The attention paid to Zarqawi and Ahmadinejad has moved Bin Laden to the margins of Western news coverage, but his strategy for building al-Qaeda, as the single umbrella organization of global jihad, with himself as its "Sheikh," has been premised on his being recognized among...
...likely to succeed, a smart inside operator but a politician, not a statesman. He will have to perform in the spotlight now, and inside players tend to wilt when shoved onto center stage. Netanyahu has become Israel's Richard Nixon--his negatives are stratospheric, but he is a tough competitor, a plausible Prime Minister.

...companies that make their painkilling drugs. The once high-flying anti-inflammatories known as cox-2 inhibitors nearly crashed and burned in September 2004, when Merck's popular Vioxx was pulled from the market after a study revealed it could raise the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Dartmouth (5-5-0, 2-4-0) has proven to be just that. In the past three years, Harvard posted a 3-3 record against the Big Green—a mark that stands in stark contrast to the rest of those seasons. The Crimson...
...competed, taking place Nov. 29–Dec. 3. Pangilinan medaled in both the 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke. She swam the 100-meter breaststroke first and claimed a bronze medal in the event with a time of 1:12.73. Bronze was not good enough for the ferocious competitor in Pangilinan as she determined to do better in her second event. Pangilinan competed in the 200-meter breaststroke later in the Games and bested her first result with a silver-medal performance. She touched the wall with a time...
