Measured by performance, Coss, whose pay consists overwhelmingly of Green Tree stock, may deserve a little extra in his packet: he has managed to boost the company's value at a torrid 83% compound rate over the past five years, making it one of the hottest issues on the New York Stock Exchange and winning encomiums from the likes of Fidelity mutual-fund guru Peter Lynch.

Krauthammer accuses me of having "parroted" Muslims' charges that the "tunnel cuts under their compound" and their claim that the act was "a crime against Islam."

...withdrew north of the Kabul Thursday night, saying they wanted to avoid civilian casualties. Members of the Taliban, a rebel group led by ex-seminary students, stormed the city at about 1 a.m. Friday from several directions. They quickly located former President Najibullah and his brother at a U.N compound, where they had been hiding since losing power four years ago. TIME's Meenakshi Ganguly, reporting from New Delhi, says TIME stringers witnessed Najibullah's bullet-riddled body hanging from a lamppost; the public has gathered at the spectacle. The Taliban, who since 1994 have captured most of the countryside...
