...little more time gathering facts and building consensus. However, Sullivan's allusion to Frodo Baggins, hero of The Lord of the Rings, was an unintentionally brilliant commentary on Bush and his crusade against terrorism: a small being wandering in a world of good and evil, solely responsible for the fate of all. Unfortunately, we don't live in Middle-earth, and there was never a Fellowship. And perhaps Frodo was more capable of understanding the complexities of our world than Bush is. Tom Patrick Evanston...
...optimism. At peace talks in Naivasha, Kenya, the two sides agreed to split the south's resources equally for six years, before the southerners vote on whether to secede. But the peace is fragile. Still on the agenda are the delicate issues of a power-sharing agreement and the fate of three northern regions that fought with the rebels.

Neighbors say the couple was quarrelling and Racquel threw a candle at her husband. The Eusebios say a candle simply fell...
...preparation for a Jan. 20 showdown with federal prosecutors in New York City, her legal team spent last week sifting through hundreds of 35-page juror questionnaires that probed such matters as whether people had ever purchased a Martha Stewart product or heard of the biotech firm ImClone. The fate of the domestic diva, who faces charges stemming from her sale of 3,928 ImClone shares shortly before the stock price plummeted in 2001, hinges on whether the jury sees her as a cover-up artist or as a victim of overzealous prosecutors. The good news for Stewart, who faces...
