Last October Régine Cavagnoud, who won the super-G World Cup in 2001 and was third overall in the World Cup standings, died in a freak training accident on the Pitztal glacier, near Innsbruck. During a joint French and German team-practice session, the 31-year-old Cavagnoud was speeding down the ice at around 65 km/h when she crashed into German coach Markus Anwander. Both sustained head injuries, and Cavagnoud went into cardiac arrest. Two days later she died. Germany's World combined champion Martina Ertl spoke for many of her fellow competitors when she said, "This...
Marine General Peter Pace, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, insists that the U.S. "will continue to work with each of the tribal leaders to get to the point where the things that we are doing in Afghanistan alongside them are good for both the U.S. and Afghanistan."

Last month, EMI gave pop diva Mariah Carey a $28 million payoff to free itself from the $80 million contract it signed her to last year. Carey, whose 1993 album Music Box sold 24 million copies, could only generate sales of 2 million for her first and only EMI release, Glitter...
...Philippine government refused to renew a lease agreement. So resented were the years of foreign domination and so unpopular was the United States’ presence that the Philippine constitution still does not allow foreign combat forces onto Philippine soil. While the United States and the Philippines conduct joint training missions annually, there remains a great deal of animosity amongst the Philippine people toward American combat troops. This is yet another reason that the American forces must remain an advisory body rather than a combat contingent; the last thing America wants to do is rekindle past resentments...
