...summit meeting in Scotland. The French team will screen a short film about Paris directed by filmmaker Luc Besson, and Spain's Queen Sofía and Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero will be on hand to lobby for Madrid. The winning city - you can count on it - will hold a press conference and pop champagne to extol the benefits of hosting the Games. Back home, jubilant citizens will party in the streets. Everyone will claim that the Games will have a profound economic impact on the city that wins - that, of course...
...been able to rely on its allies to provide forward staging areas for projecting U.S. power. The unwillingness of the French and Spanish to let American F-111s pass through their airspace on the long flight to Libya puts the U.S. on notice that it can no longer routinely count on allied support for its military adventures.

Israel committed a hijacking in 1954, seizing a Syrian civilian plane. Also in 1954 Israel engaged in subversive acts in Egypt, in the so-called Lavon scandal. [A reference to Israeli attacks...
...experts estimate that the disparate Identity groups count from 2,000 to 5,000 members plus several times that many sympathizers and seem to have particular appeal for bankrupt farmers and the unemployed. A handful of Identity churches, like Butler's, hold services in traditional places of worship. But the network includes little-noticed groups that meet in private homes and individuals who regularly receive audiocassettes and publications in the mail. The word is also spread through contacts in prisons, computer bulletin boards and shows on public access channels on TV cable systems, which are required...
