Later that week, a member of Hamas, the largest Palestinian Islamic group, nearly blew up a bus filled with the school-bound children of Israeli settlers in the Gaza Strip. (An Israeli army jeep escorting the children cut him off, absorbing the blow of his 170-lb. car bomb. The bomber and one soldier died.) "[Arafat] was really panicking about it," said an official who saw him afterward. "Had it been the 40 schoolchildren, it would have been the end of the peace process as we know it." A Hamas splinter group, Islamic Jihad, made another go at that goal...
...face a weather-beaten mask of intensity, glares into the camera. The group's tag-along priest blesses them over the Holy Bible. The team then storms the mansion and the resulting melee is chaotic and bloody, consisting mostly of vampires getting harpooned and dragged outside by a Jeep winch, where they burst into flames and are reduced to a pile of ashes. It's a crummy job, but somebody's gotta...
From the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee to the all-new BMW 3 Series sports sedans, the 1999 vehicles now rolling into showrooms are bigger, faster and more powerful than their forerunners, which is only fitting for the final model year of this automotive century. What's more surprising, perhaps, is that many of them are cheaper as well.

...market remains more hotly contested than the one for sport-utility vehicles, which account for 18% of all U.S. car and truck sales. Chrysler has spent more than $2.65 billion to expand the interior and improve the ride of its new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will cost about $250 less than the 1998 model because features like the CD player will no longer be extra. Chrysler hopes to overtake the Ford Explorer as the market leader. But moving up will be tough in the increasingly crowded SUV category. Newcomers include the Lexus RX300, which competes with the Cherokee on price...
...loves sea turtles. There is an image of the long-lived beast (some reach age 70) on her T shirt. And miniature re-creations of the animal (which can grow to a length of 7 ft. and weigh 1,500 lbs.) hang from her necklace and earrings. Driving her Jeep along the beach at Praia do Forte in northern Brazil, she hits the brakes and suddenly does something surprising. She points with pride to a big 400-room resort hotel intruding upon the sea turtles' habitat. "We persuaded the owner to keep buildings low and use unobtrusive lighting," she explains...
