...when you're halfway around the world. Don't worry if that business trip to Australia has inconveniently come just when Man U is playing Arsenal in London. With a Slingbox in the living room and an Internet-connected laptop or 3G mobile phone on the road, you can follow every live strike by Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney just as if you were slumped into your favorite comfy chair in Highbury. Not that it's perfect: if you're in Sydney, you might have to start watching at 1 a.m. Like personal video recorders (pvrs) and the growing fascination...

Cambridge officials could not be reached for comment yesterday...
...Following Monday’s suicide bombings in Tel Aviv, for which Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility, Hamas announced its support for this murder of innocent civilians. Hamas called this week’s attack “legitimate,” saying that it would not try to curb further attacks. Both of these positions are untenable. A legitimate government cannot condone terror and the murder of innocent men, women, and children; it is unacceptable to publicly proclaim support for suicide bombings. When Hamas was first elected to power in January, many were worried that they would maintain their advocacy...
