...According to just-released memos, agents reported seeing captives shackled in a fetal position for 24 hours without food or water and left in their own excrement, another gagged with duct tape that covered much of his head and another who had torn out his hair after being chained all night in a hot room. Former Army Sergeant Erik Saar, who served at Gitmo and wrote Inside the Wire with TIME correspondent Viveca Novak, has described an instance in which a female interrogator smeared fake menstrual blood on a captive's face. It may have been a measure...
...remote island of Flores say they are descended from a tribe of tiny, hairy folk whom they call "the short people." "We didn't have knives but used rocks," he explains.

Jurubu, a soft-spoken man with close-cropped gray hair, high cheekbones and deeply inset eyes, looks to the 30 or so villagers sitting in a circle around him for confirmation.

"I don't know that I ever saw him sleep," says Aaron Eckhart, an old college buddy and near permanent...
Being on trial for murder is a hair-raising experience, no doubt about it. So let's all forgive PHIL SPECTOR for the 'fro he sported in court last week, where the storied pop-music producer stands accused of having shot actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. (The high heels he wore to court are less explicable.) The judge decided to allow testimony from four women claiming that Spector--who in better days worked with the likes of the Beatles--threatened them with guns. The defense called the accusations completely untrue and said the women were just seeking...
