...Saddam's home town, and elsewhere former regime members were sullen and glum, looking for further proof, refusing to believe even when word came that the confirmation went beyond the local authorities, beyond the CIA and the Pentagon, down to the level of his scars and his cells, a DNA test. According to Senator Pat Roberts, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, the U.S. had some of Saddam's senior aides driven to Tikrit to view him and confirm it was him. A shopkeeper there named Basim al-Tikriti said, "I am shocked. I cannot move my body. I feel...

To really make it in the $5 billion rap business, you have to mix more than beats. You have to be into fashion, movies and maybe even a Broadway play. Simmons founded Def Jam records and runs Phat Fashions, a $263 million clothing line, and produced Def Poetry Jam on Broadway. P. Diddy, a star recording artist, also runs Bad Boy Records, a $325 million clothing line and two restaurants...
...these products if they knew." In cases where the trim is identified, Stevenson says, importers concoct all sorts of exotic, meaningless names, like gae-wolf, sobaki and goupee. Even if the E.U. cracked down on imports, verification is cumbersome and expensive. The curing process used on many skins destroys DNA, so it would be difficult to prove that pelts came from cats or dogs. And China is showing no interest in stopping the trade, or even understanding European objections. Stevenson needs 314 M.E.P.s' signatures by Dec. 22 to advance the proposed ban on cat and dog fur.
