Most of their fighters are armed with ancient M-16s and AK-47s, and the heaviest weapons at their disposal are two geriatric M-79 grenade launchers.

As for the Lao government, which declined to talk to TIME, it denies allegations that it is decimating Hmong rebels and blames them for much of the unrest in the country. It insists...
...player Jesseka Bartholomew is poised to make her last run as team captain. Bartholomew has hit .379 so far, but her performance at the plate has not been enough to overcome the youth around her through Yale’s 10-16 pre-Ivy start. The youth is heaviest in the Bulldog pitching staff, which regularly deploys three freshmen. Beth Pavlicek has been the best of bunch with a 6-2 record and a 1.12 ERA.

...anything (except gas); their defense is mostly carried out in sedate op-eds. After enduring months of attacks, pro-SUV forces cheered last month when it was disclosed that the Bush Administration wants to increase a tax break allowing small businesses to deduct much of the price of the heaviest SUVs from their taxes--even when those SUVs won't be hauling anything more than the boss and his morning Starbucks...
