...west perceives US Muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular as terrorists. Catastrophes like Hurricane Katrina and the Kashmir earthquake can serve as eye openers. In both cases, governmental bureaucratic structures failed terribly. But if you saw TV coverage after the quake, you could not miss the fact that Pakistanis were painstakingly helping their fellow citizens as soon as they could. We are basically very compassionate and benevolent people, ready to sacrifice whatever we can to help others in their hour of need. That is what the Koran teaches us. Munaza Hasan Lahore, Pakistan...
...sound of simulated gunfire and the release of plumes of smoke when you score a "hit" on an enemy aircraft. After the fray, pilots will demonstrate some of the slicker moves required in air combat, including tail slides, inverted spins and loop-the-loops, subjecting you to more eye-popping G-forces than you ever thought possible.

By joining the club I was endorsing these notions. By quitting I was protesting them. I believe very strongly that it is a shameful part of our history and present...
...ever done one of these before?” he asks. FM, regrettably, is a virgin. 8:38 p.m.: Fumicello does a quick run through the MAC. “You never know what you’ll find,” he explains. The two young receptionists eye this FM reporter, who is feverishly taking down notes and has forgotten to show ID, suspiciously. “He’s with me,” the officer says with a chuckle. 8:53 p.m.: Wielding a flashlight, Fumicello creeps into a darkened alley alongside Claverly Hall.
