...cage" to a confident woman whose new start in life was tragically cut short. Brown stitched together two years of research with her own experiences of Diana, whom she met several times in the 1980s. "I ended up really liking Diana," says Brown. "She was a complicated girl with deep wounds and could be very vindictive when she was crossed. But she was also authentically compassionate and caring." Diana's "rare combination of great beauty and intense unhappiness," says Brown, "made her a figure that everyone wanted to protect and love. We miss...

He said the new bombs are being buried deep in dirt tracks on the outskirts of Baghdad that are likely to be used by American patrols. Some of the bombs are planted in sewers and irrigation culverts; their concrete lining would direct most of the force of an explosion upward - enough to "turn an Abrams tank into an airplane...
...Such claims are typically greeted with skepticism by U.S. commanders. There have been no reports of any Abrams tanks being taken out by an IED since the start of the security crackdown.
