...only does this logic seem silly," Wolf told TIME in June after receiving his final subpoena, "but if unchallenged it will have a deleterious effect on the state protections afforded to many journalists, both independent and those that are part of the established media." Judge William Alsup of Federal District Court rejected Wolf's arguments, and declared him in contempt of court. So he is now being held in a detention center in Dublin, Calif., where he could remain until next July when the grand jury expires, or earlier if his attorneys can convince the court his custody becomes punitive...
...lull to flee the war zone and make their way north. They bring with them their country ways and their rage. "These children, they won't just grow up to fight Israel, they'll fight America too," said a young mother just arrived by taxi from Bint Jbeil district, scene of some of the war's heaviest ground fighting. One of her cousins, a Hizballah fighter, had been killed by the Israelis in nearby Maroun...
...Bint Jbeil was a prime target for the Israeli army. The largest Shi'a town in the border district, Bint Jbeil is populated with staunch supporters of Hizballah, whose fighters are battling Israeli forces.

Cars, minibuses, even tractors towing trailers crammed with people waving white sheets surged along the border roads, taking advantage of the brief respite in the bombing and fighting. "This is our one opportunity. They gave us 24 hours and we are taking it," says Adnan Shabi from the small village of Teir...
...rewritten the electoral equation the way many Democrats had hoped it would. The most telling indicator, as always, is how candidates and interest groups are spending their money. A week after the veto, campaign strategists in both parties said they didn't know of a single state or congressional district where a candidate was running an ad on the issue. Only one independent organization, the liberal Campaign to Defend the Constitution, has run national advertising about it, buying $250,000 worth of ads in the New York Times and an additional $100,000 worth online...
