...lengthy ambushes in places where their vaunted 21st-century war machine was of little or no use. Not only were the guerrillas masters of the terrain, but they were equipped with top-of-the line anti-tank missiles. The first hard lesson was dealt to the Israelis in a hilltop village known as Maroun al Ras, just 500 meters from the Israeli border. What was intended as a lightning blow by the Israelis turned into a three-day slugfest...
...dusty hilltop villages populated by Lebanese Shi'ite Muslim supporters of Hizballah, convoys of cars adorned with yellow Hizballah banners wove through the streets this afternoon honking horns at the news of the capture of two Israeli soldiers.

They did an encore for the start of the game - loud and proud - and immediately began howling at the ref. We could have been...
...afternoon, and every day, a treadmill of yoga and yomps. Jeans herself describes the retreat as "a health boot camp." "The most effective kick start comes from a combination of diet and exercise," she explains. She runs her camp for 12 weeks a year in the Spanish hilltop village of Gauc?n in Andalucia. But it's a movable raw-food feast, with two additional weeks planned in Cornwall, England, this year, and in 2007, for the first time, a long-haul retreat on St. Barts in the French West Indies. Accommodation in all locations is plush, and no more than...
