...blunt about what that nature was. “I don’t perceive my role as a newsman at all,” he said during the interview. “I’m a comedian from stem to stern. You can cut me open and count the rings of jokes.” “If people learn something about the news by watching my show, that’s incidental to my goal,” he said. As the audience laughed at that remark, he looked to the crowd and said...
...were killed, including 400 belonging to the Iranian-trained lite special forces unit, the Nasr Brigade. In Lebanon, the thinking is that those numbers are probably inflated, that many of the dead were militants unaffiliated with Hizballah who grabbed a gun and joined the fighting. Whatever the body count, Hizballah has lost assets.

But $1.9 billion, or 45%, of that funding has disappeared since the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks, as federal resources are increasingly directed toward homeland security and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Midsize cities, which depend more heavily on federal funds than larger ones do, have nearly 25% fewer officers than they did in 2001, and the White House's budget proposal for next year would...
...many white cops on the force. As Alderman Ashanti Hamilton explains, "If the only time people in black neighborhoods see a police officer there it is to arrest somebody, then, of course, they're going to be nervous." Chief Hegerty says repairing this relationship is critical. "We have to count on law-abiding residents to tell us what's going on in their neighborhoods," she says...
