...those 17 products? To "minimize impact" on Americans, says the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. And how does the USTR determine the impact? By throwing the tariff list open to a beagle chorus of special pleading--by U.S. manufacturers eager to get their European competitors barred, by U.S. importers desperate to keep their shipments coming--and to comment by regular folks like Davis, who are caught in the cross fire. There may have once been a time when politics stopped at the water's edge, but today it scarcely taps the brakes...
...crippled economy brings doom to its border; then Uruguay's hormonal teenagers keep PAMELA ANDERSON from crossing it. The remarkably cantilevered V.I.P. star was set to visit Argentina after filming a commercial in Uruguay but cut her tour short after being swarmed by hundreds of randy Uruguayan boys eager to cop a feel.

"His number one priority is to improve his relationship with Washington," says TIME Jerusalem bureau chief Lisa Beyer. "His principal strategy is aimed at undermining the United States' traditional pro-Israeli stance." Arafat and other Palestinian leaders believe that if they can warm U.S. officials...
...technology stocks to offer hard assets, proven earnings and a price roughly in line with market multiples, vs. those traders who are willing to pay a much higher price for rapid growth. The latest returns favor Intel. In a tough week that saw most stocks retreat, the market seemed eager to pay 30 times this year's earnings for Intel.
