...best seller Fatal Vision. Since then, the armed forces have addressed domestic violence with more counseling and support for families, but some say the Pentagon has not done enough. Confidentiality isn't guaranteed for victims who come forward, according to Tucker, and only about 30% of Army bases employ a person trained and identified as a victims' advocate. Perhaps, then, we should look closer to home than Afghanistan for the reasons four women are dead...
...that they are going quietly. Every morning, Aziz Ahmed, a Junior Artists Association official, scouts locations from his van. When he finds a production that does not employ junior artists, he works the phones, calling a threatening mob to the set. Ahmed, a burly 39-year-old, heckles producers, demanding a token quota of junior artists, even if it means the extras are "left outside the frame." Most producers comply, or just pay up, to get rid of him. Ahmed admits he has resorted to violence, but says he has no choice. "People say we are quarrelsome and abusive...

...always eye mosques and seminaries for the new talent. When I was asked to help report the Padilla story last week while visiting the U.S., it was both shocking and painful to hear and see the same thing happening thousands of miles away in Florida.

But unlike Karachi, where people take these things for granted, here in Florida the Muslim community is now awake to the dangers it is confronted with and now seems to want to work to keep...
...great American dancer. He was the first with the most - the pioneer who was also the supreme refiner. Tap dancing had traditionally been all legwork, with the upper body stationary (think Gene Kelly). Astaire, as his teacher Ned Wayburn noted, "was the first American tap dancer to consciously employ the full resources of his arms, hands and torso for visual ornamentation." Then he integrated ballet and ballroom dance into his style. He wasn't grounded, in the old tap fashion; he floated, soared like Nijinsky. The mood of his dances also went beyond the comic energy of tap; his were...
