...even called the Suliban, which Berman had named after the Taliban even before 9/11. So far, Archer is best remembered for the line, "You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass!" (Which would be a lot more manly if he hadn't said it to a woman.) But forget about politics. Will the new Trek sell? Enterprise hasn't connected with people; it has one-third fewer viewers in its second season than Voyager did during its sophomore outing. Trek fans may also be a bit exhausted. "Perhaps we weren't careful...
...anti-Muslim crusade - and it might help salve Turkish irritation at having some of that war waged from its territory. Turkey's membership might not even be under debate right now without this long-term American lobbying. But would it be on a faster track if the Americans hadn't leaned so hard before Copenhagen? "The security and strategic future of the U.S. is closely linked to that of Europe, so it's not fair to say that America is intervening in an issue in which it is not involved," said a British diplomat.

"If it hadn't been for the crucifixion," Napoleon reasoned, "Jesus would not have become a god." It was a truly Napoleonic comparison, but contained a kernel of truth: the Napoleonic legend is enjoying something of a resurrection these days in France...
...subject of one of Col. Walker's personal crusades. They were relocated to this dusty, windswept plateau, two miles from the nearest water, by a European NGO which promised to build them housing here. Since then they have languished in patchwork tents, neglected and forgotten. If Walker hadn't come up with a two month supply of wheat this summer, they would have starved to death by now. The Chiclets are trying to arrange permanent housing for them before winter hits; just in case, Col. Walker is having stoves made out of scrap metal to heat the tents...
