...still almost impossible to imagine, short of all-out war. Mexican authorities, however, "know where the brothers are," insists Jesus Blancornelas, 65, editor of the Tijuana weekly Zeta. Because of his reporting on the cartel--which included publishing letters from mothers of Ramon's victims calling Ramon a coward--Blancornelas was shot four times in broad daylight in 1997 by a group that included Ramon's main hitman, David Barron Corona (a San Diego gang member who was himself killed by a stray bullet between the eyes during the botched assault).

...happy. He says he's been "in a relationship with an amazing man" for about three years (he says his partner isn't a celebrity). In the past Stipe avoided questions about his sexuality, but he's now more comfortable discussing it.

...being called “a political hypocrite and a moral coward” by one of his arch rivals in 1958, Goldwater shoots back, “schoolyard-style,” that his opponent should “look into the mirror and see who is the coward.” And as adoring crowds chant, “We Want Barry! We Want Barry!,” Goldwater, impatiently commanding the podium, growls his trademark line: “If you’ll shut up, you?...

...probably never been exposed to danger a single time in his life, sees fit to fault the Bush administration for its “zero casualty” logic in his column “Appeasing the Chinese” (Opinion, April 16). Apparently, George W. Bush is a coward for having the patience and humility to bring our boys back home safely with relatively little damage to Sino-American relations. Ross, on the other hand, is more than willing to expend other people’s lives to show those uppity Chinese who’s their daddy...
