...high-tech photos, raw audiotapes--as in the substance. The danger is that even the best intelligence is almost always subject to widely differing interpretations. Maybe they were cleverly lowering expectations, but in the days before Powell's performance, Administration officials were fairly uniform in admitting the presentation would contain only a few clearly incriminating charges. Most of the material would be circumstantial and deductive, the kind of evidence that doesn't quite yield the "Aha!" moment that greeted Adlai Stevenson's display of the famous Cuban-missile photos...
Turkish troops have good reason for wanting to know what the Kurds are up to. A separatist guerrilla group is based in craggy mountains along the Turkey-Iraq border.

McLoon’s win was the Crimson’s first cross-country carnival victory since Judy Rabinowitz, a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
