...documenting the demise of the English Liberal party, the historian George Dangerfield wrote that it “was the child of Progress, which is not only an illusion, but an athletic illusion, and which insists that it is better to hurl oneself backwards than to stand still.” It may be wishful thinking, but I sincerely hope that our PSLM friends think hard before raising the banner and again hurling themselves onto the barricades. Give the HCECP recommendations a chance to work before describing them as inadequate simply because they do not include...
...Since the first demands for "evidence," the U.S. government has busied itself preparing a laundry list of suitable accusations and diplomatically correct labels to hurl at bin Laden and his terrorist cells. The mysterious "proof" of his guilt has been shared, we're told with Allied leaders in Europe, as well as with various Pakistani and Afghan (rebel) authorities.

Mysterious shipments of billiard balls may have been showing up in Washington lately, say law-enforcement officials, and they are not for the making of The Hustler 3.

Last Friday afternoon, in the Piazza Alimonda in Genoa, Italy, a photographer caught a young man getting ready to hurl a fire extinguisher at a police Land Rover trapped against a wall. Inside the van, a police officer can be seen aiming a pistol at the demonstrator. One, possibly two shots were fired; Carlo Giuliani, 23, the son of a labor union official from Rome, fell, bleeding through...
...JULY 15 12:20 P.M. Militants hurl a grenade at an army patrol outside the northwestern town of Baramulla. One soldier is injured. His comrades quickly bring him to a hospital, where he later dies. Reinforcements arrive and the soldiers begin a sweep for the attackers. As Musharraf takes a break from his meetings to tour the Taj Mahal, men from the 8 JAK Rifles enter an orchard and force four laborers to leave with them. At dusk, villagers hear short bursts of gunfire. The next morning, a policeman reports that soldiers killed six "hard-core" militants during the search...
