CHARLESTON, S.C.—I didn’t approach hitchhiking with an eye-glistening wanderlust or a throat-swelling love of life. I stuck my thumb out impudently, like a child forced to apologize, then made my boyfriend do the same. We had bought tickets to a concert without realizing the show was a 40-minute drive north of the city. We don’t have a car, and we need a ride. Otherwise, the $30 tickets go to waste. The only impulse more natural to me than looking out for myself is looking...
Though the cause of the fire is unknown, eye-witnesses at the scene said that after one car went up in flames, the fire spread to the three cars closest to it. Some Harvard University Police Department officers on the scene speculated that the flames were fanned by the strong breeze, aided by the openness and air-flow pattern of the above-ground garage...
...shame because Depp is a skilled comic actor. His Captain Jack Sparrow is still a marvelous creation. It's not just a matter of his eye makeup or his variously funny ways of walking, running or sitting still (as when he discovers, to his dismay, that cannibals have decided to make him the main course at their banquet).

...wouldn't swim in it," says Professor Ho Kin Chung, head of the Environmental Studies program at the Open University of Hong Kong, who worries about health risks posed by taking a dip in the water. "I think it's crazy." Indeed, doctors have advised swimmers to flush their eyes with antibiotic drops, and to refrain from taking part if they have cuts on their skin, while Guangzhou's Yangcheng Evening News quoted a woman whose training swims in the river left her with diarrhea and eye inflammation. Her sage advice to swimathon contestants: wear a wet suit...
...found the cover image of al-Zarqawi's face covered by a red X extremely eye-catching but also troubling, as it reminded me of the May 7, 1945, issue of TIME, which had an image of Adolf Hitler and an almost identical X. I wonder if it is legitimate to compare al-Zarqawi with Hitler, the latter having far exceeded al-Zarqawi in his crimes against humanity. But then, it is a blessing that al-Zarqawi has been stopped before such a comparison really could be legitimate. Simon Nicholas Cologne, Germany...
