An official with the Iraqi National Congress (I.N.C.) in London says, "We are getting a significantly higher level of contacts from regime insiders, including very senior ones in circles around Saddam." Sometimes, this official claims, such contacts have been in telephone calls direct from Iraq, something the I.N.C. hasn't seen before. Ghassan Atiyyah, a former Iraqi diplomat who edits the Iraq File, a monthly newsletter, in London, says his answering machine has taken messages from people inside Iraq telling...

"Takahashi doesn't think about originality," carps fashion critic Takeji Hirakawa, "only about copying...
...appalling that Johnson would rather lose millions of dollars in corporate sponsorships than allow a woman into his exclusive club. It is even worse when there is no justifiable reason for the discriminatory policy. Johnson may insist that Augusta, as a private organization, has no obligation to allow female members. But that private-club excuse only works for 51 weeks a year. In the 52nd week, when hosting the Masters, the club becomes the very public face of golf.
