Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni had similar designs on Congo. Ugandan troops have been supporting a second group of Congolese rebels eager to remove Kabila. Museveni insists his intentions are peaceable. As he appeared on television last week describing his army's hunt for the Bwindi killers, he was polished, global and sophisticated. Museveni takes pride in his soldiers and insists their presence in Congo is a stabilizing force. They train the Congolese rebels. They turn over any mines captured to the rebels so that they can buy the hearts and minds of their fellow Congolese...
Travel agents are eager to get federal agents involved because once a ticket is used, the carrier can demand payment from the agency, even for stolen tickets. The agents say the airlines could thwart these crimes by using scanners capable of detecting tickets that have been reported stolen. Such technology would have enabled Hawaiian Airlines, for example, to intercept two passengers who flew from Honolulu to Maui last year with stolen first-class tickets on a plane that had no first-class section...
Mottola has the wind at his back. Culturally and demographically, the Latin presence in the U.S. is being felt now as never before.

Adolescents are, by their nature, heartless, randy and, as all the books inform their frantic parents, eager to test authority's limits. In other words, they have an affinity for Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Now that a young writer-director named Roger Kumble has turned Pierre Laclos's malevolent, much adapted minor masterpiece into a nastily assured teen flick, one has to wonder why it took so long for somebody to age-down its louche protagonists and update its setting...
Lamont could easily find an eager partner for this venture. The aggressive little C'est Bon, which has recently entered an expansionist phase, would probably love to open a concession in the library, thereby paving the way for a C'est Bon in Widener, the History Department's tutorial office and your very own bathroom. If space is an issue, the library could easily accommodate Cafe Lamont by bull-dozing those sketchy fifth-floor classrooms. Who uses them anyway...
