"This shows not only that Hamas is different from al-Qaeda, but that the two are actually violently at odds...
...those who later claim to represent it, from Pakistan and Iran to the Philippines itself. Aquino, in her helium-inflected voice, once mused: "I came to power peacefully, so shall I keep it."

"It is certain that we want to be united with [Russian] North Ossetia, but we aren't sure how this will be carried out. But there is the prospect," says...
...beset by scandals including the Rodney King beating and Los Angeles riots in 1992, as well as the Rampart corruption case, which initiated federal oversight of the department. It was only a few weeks ago that U.S. District Court Judge Gary A Feess freed the department from the consent decree that had been in place since 2001. Said Bratton: "There's never a good time to leave something, but often times there is the right time and for me this is the right time." (See Bill Bratton on a 1996 cover of TIME...
