...France, thanks in large part to its new Foreign Minister. In Khartoum, even Bashir - not known for his humor - appeared charmed by his French visitor. Like many African leaders, Bashir has known Kouchner for decades, since the Frenchman's days at MSF. In an anteroom on the top floor of Khartoum's conference center, Bashir joked that Kouchner had several times sneaked into Sudan illegally during the country's long civil war. To Kouchner, those years of frontline experience as a doctor were an invaluable preparation for his new job, and they have, he believes, given him an important edge...
...fact that McClane is so obviously computer illiterate. It's hard to imagine him owning a PC, let alone cruising the Internet in search of blog tidbits or pornish delights. But if he did, we can only imagine him picking up a computer and hurling it to the floor when for some reason he had trouble paying bills online or balancing his checkbook.

He grew into 60 lbs. of torso with 3-in. stubs for legs, yet he could do a dead leap off the kitchen floor to swipe a pizza off the counter. Plus he bayed--a siren of woo-woos that endeared us to our condominium neighbors. But after every misdeed, he would turn his googly-eyed gaze...
...despite the decades of sarcasm by earlier critics, has the basic evidence that Oswald killed Kennedy been shaken. Fragments of the bullets that hit Kennedy were matched with the rifle found on the sixth floor of the Depository. Oswald's fingerprints were on the rifle barrel. Fibers from the clothes he wore when arrested were caught on the rifle butt. That morning he had brought a long, thin package to work from the house in Irving where he spent weekends with Marina. He explained to the co-worker who gave him a ride that it contained curtain rods...
