...mission is to patrol two U.S.-created no-fly zones, one above the 36th parallel and the other below the 33rd, in order to keep Saddam boxed in and unable to attack Iraq's ethnic minorities. When threatened by Iraqi air defenses, U.S. pilots are authorized to fire missiles and drop bombs on such sites, as they have done 323 times since 1999. The effort could have turned into a series of bloody clashes and perhaps even an excuse for a full-scale war. But despite some 250,000 sorties and a bounty on the pilots' heads--Saddam has offered...

Two Afghan Cabinet ministers have been assassinated this year, and several others, including Karzai, have survived attempts. Given the country's ethnic rivalries and chronic warlordism, the loss of Karzai--a popular member of the majority Pashtuns--could send Afghanistan reeling back toward the chaos that bin Laden found so hospitable. "Karzai has no real power base of his own," says a diplomat in Kabul. "But as a Pashtun leader who has earned real respect...
...golfing chiefs are talking: members are required to sign an agreement not to speak about the club, although one told TIME anonymously that Johnson's move came as a surprise.
