...Whether or not the Iraq war was right, it's the troops on the ground who are bearing the brunt of a failed strategy. We need to get them out." HERBERT M. DICKER Port Washington...
...Federal Housing Authority (FHA) is the best deal. This is called a home-equity conversion mortgage, and many of its costs--including interest, which floats with one-year Treasury bills and is now 3.55%--are consistent from lender to lender. So you don't have to shop or dicker. Exceptions include origination fees, which may be as high as 2% of loan value, and servicing fees, generally around $30 or so a month.

Ironically, the Bobetko dispute comes as Croatia...
...Serb leader presents no legal defense, prosecutors believe they can make a swift case for conviction that is able to withstand appeal. But that would present its own problem. "It will be difficult to explain the lack of adversarial picture that people expect in court," says Dicker. "For that reason, it poses a real challenge to the judges: that the trial be fair to Mr. Milosevic and be seen as being fair." For the credibility of the tribunal, that is key. More than anything, the trial and its verdict need to convince the world's victims and villains alike that...
