...first challenge is the Gospels themselves. All four describe complicity by at least some Jews in Christ's execution. But they differ on details, such as the community's unanimity and its influence with Pilate, Jerusalem's Roman ruler. Matthew, Mark and Luke accuse individuals and Jewish subgroups but leave room for the (likely) possibility that many rank-and-file Jews sympathized with Jesus or were indifferent. John, however, repeatedly refers to "the Jews" as a whole, implying collective guilt. Matthew provides the only report of a seemingly damning oath by the spectators at Jesus' trial: "His blood...
...those 16 words in the President's speech?" In January Joseph faxed a paragraph to CIA official Alan Foley and then hammered out by telephone the now infamous line in the State of the Union address about Iraq trying to acquire uranium from Africa. After that the accounts differ. According to a source close to the Senate Intelligence Committee--before which Foley, along with CIA Director George Tenet, appeared last week--Foley insisted that a reference to Iraqi efforts to acquire uranium from Niger be removed. According to the source, Foley claimed that Joseph was "zealous" about keeping...
...Europeans and Americans differ so much in their attitude toward work and leisure? I can think of two reasons. First, the crowded confines of Western Europe and the expansive space of North America have led to varied consumer preferences. Broadly speaking, Americans value stuff - SUVs, 7,000-sq.-ft. houses - more than they value time, while for Europeans it's the opposite.

At least in the puritanical version of Christianity that has always appealed to Americans, religion comes packaged with the stern message that hard...
...British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw insisted he and his besieged government "believe in the intelligence behind the claims." After Straw declined to name the two nations he said provided the U.K. with its yellowcake evidence, British press reports identified them as France and Italy. Both nations loudly begged to differ. The French were indignant. "No French service or administration was in any way connected to this bogus information," snaps a French diplomat, noting that France's foreign intelligence service issued a rare public denial. "We resent being made a scapegoat for this politicized intelligence crap." - BRUCE CRUMLEY/Paris...
...Pennsylvania Gazette, he expressed this credo in a famous editorial, "Apology for Printers," which remains one of the best defenses of a free press. The opinions people have, Franklin wrote, are "almost as various as their faces." The job of printers is to allow people to express these differing opinions. "There would be very little printed," he noted, if publishers produced only things that offended nobody. At stake was the virtue of free expression, and Franklin summed up the Enlightenment position: "Printers are educated in the belief that when men differ in opinion, both sides ought equally to have...
