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.

It isn't. ABC News' Peter Jennings parroted the charge: "Muslims say the tunnel cuts under their compound and call it a crime against Islam." It doesn't and it isn't. The Washington Post explained that "it should come as no surprise that violent passions were aroused by Israel's tampering with the ground beneath the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque." No ground beneath either...
