...surveillance on Martin Wiese, who came to Munich three years ago and has since worked odd jobs and organized right-wing demonstrations with Alexander Metzing, a Munich carpenter. Wiese and Metzing, both of whom are from the former East Germany, are suspected of being leaders of the far-right gang Kameradschaft Süd-Aktionsbüro Süddeutschland (Society of Comrades Action Bureau, Southern Germany). "It's no coincidence that they are east Germans," says Hajo Funke, an expert on right-wing extremism at Berlin's Free University. "Ten years of experiencing the downside of German unification...
...woods in Brandenburg, near the Polish border. On Sept. 6, investigators say, they stopped Wiese near Nuremberg and found traces of explosives in his backpack. They say they also found a bag with 1.7 kilos of explosives in Metzing's carpentry shop.

Besides the hootchy-kootchy dancers and bearded lady, there's a real psychic and a comatose but sentient telepath; and Samson answers to an unseen superior known only as "Management," who orders him to hire Ben as a roustabout because "he was expected." Meanwhile, in California, ambitious minister Brother Justin Crowe (Clancy Brown...
...Sept. 11, a gang of ignorant madmen carried out an attack on both America and Islam. Sept. 11, for me, will have significance as the day associated with attacks on every important aspect of my life—my religion, my ideals and my fellow human beings. To alleviate my grief, I pray for a time when recognition of our shared quality of humanness overcomes our emphasis on our individual races and religions, and we are as much distraught by the death of our neighbor as one far away from us. Perhaps Prophet Muhammed describes this idea best. Once...
