When I first heard of the Massachusetts Paraplegic Deer Hunt, I envisioned paraplegic deer dragging themselves through the woods, with very unsportsmanlike hunters in pursuit. I later learned it was a special three-day season for hunters who are paraplegic that began in 1972. On opening day, Oct. 31, I drove to Great Barrington to cover the story for a National Public Radio segment...

...taken over control of the terrorist search-and-destroy mission.

Some Pakistanis, even inside the army, think Musharraf has gone too far, and public resentment against the U.S. is deepening. This fury is channeled through an Islamic group known as the Muttahidda Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), the third-biggest faction in Parliament. An example of what's in store for Musharraf?and Washington?occurred last week when MMA chiefs started the parliamentary session with a prayer for Mir Aimal...
