...agreement with a big rival to offer AT&T-branded mobile services via the Sprint network. Why the rush back to wireless? That's where the growth is. AT&T's long-distance business is hurting, while a 1% rise in overall BT revenue for the most recent quarter hid a 7% drop in its core fixed-line business. BT re-entered the consumer mobile market last year via T-Mobile's network, and now hopes the Vodafone hookup will generate $1.8 billion in annual sales in five years. Not all agree.

It was mostly night-time security stuff, manning the reception desk at the Science Center or walking around the Faculty Club, although I mostly just hid.

At breakfast, she couldn’t refrain her joy. The resulting fracas ended in a torn cashmere Polo sweater, broken nails and an emergency trip to Gino for new highlights...
...shelters 1.3 million Palestinians, most of them dispossessed since being driven here in 1948. Misery is pandemic: 70% are unemployed, 80% live in poverty, and 13% of the green, arable land has been bulldozed by Israel into barren fields of splintered tree stumps. The Israeli army said the trees hid militants when they fired rockets on the settlement. But the farmers of Beit Hanoun see a more cynical motive. "They do it," said one, "to break our will...
