...quite-live from among the peasants of Waziristan. And the extent of their isolation was most evident in recent weeks when, as the Arab street rallied to the cause of Hizballah in its battle with Israel, al-Qaeda central appeared caught between Arab public opinion and its own instinct to vilify Hizballah as Shi'ite interlopers...
...wife and I spend hours on the phone now, much as we did as love-struck teenagers. It used to be that when a war correspondent heard a loud explosion, his first instinct was to call his editor and bark, "Stop the presses!" When I hear a loud bang, my first call is to Bipasha to let her know that I'm okay. If I don't, there's a chance the explosion will make the news - she'll see it on TV, and worry about...

Levy's arrest, said his lawyer, "was unnecessary, disproportionate and ... entirely theatrical." An instinct for showbiz partly explains his prominence. Success in the music industry moved Levy into exalted circles. He met Blair at a 1994 dinner party. A peerage - as membership of the Lords is called - followed three years later. Not everyone was so lucky. Four men recommended for peerages last year were...
