...mistreatment of restaurant workers at a number of well-known eateries has recently prompted public outrage. At Saigon Grill, Ollie's and Jing Fong in New York City, delivery workers walked off the job in protest of wage and tip policies. More than two dozen city restaurants have been sued over the past year, and legal action has also been taken against restaurants in Florida, Kentucky, New Jersey and Rhode Island. "We have in our restaurant community a great many ethnic restaurants owned and operated by people for whom English is not their first language," says Chuck Hunt, Executive Vice...
...consider any contact with Hamas until the Gaza leadership mends ties with Abbas' West Bank government. That may yet happen. Though Hamas was merciless against its foes in the first hours of the Gaza conquest, the group declared an amnesty for Fatah's thousands of fighters, including a dozen senior officials.

A uniformed gunman pulled a wool mask over his face at the approach of a TIME correspondent. As he called his commander by field telephone, a dozen other heavily armed fighters emerged from a small trail running into the brush-covered hillside beside a long-abandoned factory partially destroyed by years of Israeli air strikes against the base. Some of the fighters wore checkered headscarves over the faces, others clutched rocket-propelled grenade launchers. Deeply suspicious, they took...
