...thousands of Roman troops--from the legionnaires to the attack dogs--and bring them thundering down on your enemies? If you've had the chance to play Rome: Total War (for PC; $49.99), the best real-time strategy game yet made, the answer is yes.

When he wed, in old age, the marriage seemed like a sideshow, fatherhood an even stranger subplot. "No personal questions," he used to tell reporters, as if any creaturely detail would detract from the power of his cause. Even those closest to Arafat experienced him as a mystery, which was how he liked it. He was a mythomaniac, concealing, inflating and contradicting reality...
