...fathom what he and others endure in Iraq every day-car bombs, roadside rockets, booby-trapped bodies and Iraqi civilians who act like your friend one day and shoot at you the next. To all the armchair generals who criticize what happened at the mosque, I say grab a gun and try living a Marine's life for a few weeks and see how you would react. The U.S. holds its soldiers to a higher level of moral behavior, but war is war and sometimes mistakes are made. If this Marine is found guilty of a crime, he will...
Giuliani insists that his protégé's withdrawal is solely about the nanny problem--and not about the cacophony of other issues that surfaced, like Kerik's recent $6.2 million windfall from exercising stock options in Taser International, a stun-gun company on whose board he serves and which does business with the Department of Homeland Security. Kerik never warned the Bush Administration about a potential nanny issue, a senior official says. "He's a workaholic. These are things he doesn't concentrate on," says Giuliani.

Even the heavily armored humvees, as Rumsfeld inelegantly reminded the troops last week, aren't fail-safe: 120 have been destroyed in combat in Iraq.

And he's not finished. Bolstered by a $100 million investment from Los Angeles supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle, Combs signed a licensing deal with Estée Lauder to launch a men's fragrance next fall. This summer he opened a Sean John retail store on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. More stores...
...Steven Morrissey, better known simply by his surname, “the Moz†or “Mozzer.†The flamboyant former Smiths frontman has made a career out of image: be it the hearing aid, the pocket-flung gladiolas or the potent-looking tommy gun he holds on the cover of his latest album, You Are The Quarry and its recently-released deluxe edition...
