...heading off to an appointment with a therapist she’d been seeing since her last naked Weaver sighting, actually collided with the cardio-training exhibitionist. “Hey there, little missy,” a completely unembarrassed Weaver said. Wary of more full-frontal terror, Leonard has not left her room since...
...Israel. That follows Tuesday's withering barrage against targets associated with Arafat, which destroyed his helicopters in Gaza and a building adjacent to his Ramallah office. But despite the dramatic visuals, the strikes were a carefully calibrated symbolic use of Israel's awesome military power rather than a frontal assault on the PA.

But despite the fact that the Alliance has swept into Kabul and liberated half of the country, there hasn't, in fact, been a single pitched battle in this war. The Taliban's sequential withdrawals have for the most part spared the Alliance from having to fight street-to-street for control over any city. And the fundamentalist movement's demise has come about in large part because many...
