...Jonathan Thornton finally found a job this spring after six months of unemployment. "My wife and I almost parted ways after 13 years because of the financial strain," he says. When he started work in April as a crane operator at a screw manufacturer in the Cleveland, Ohio, area, Thornton treated his wife Rita to a few little luxuries--a day at the salon, an evening out with the girls. "My outlook has definitely brightened," he says. But Thornton's optimism goes only so far. His paycheck has grown, but the family is still just getting by. Thanks to rising...
When Afghan authorities raided the house of a former Green Beret named Jonathan (Jack) Idema in Kabul last week, they were startled to find a makeshift prison. Inside were three Afghan prisoners hanging from their feet. Five more men were locked up and badly beaten. Another example of prison abuse by U.S. forces? No, this do-it-yourself Abu Ghraib was a private jail being run by Idema and two other Americans who, along with several Afghan helpers, appear to have set themselves up as antiterrorist bounty hunters.

...such preppy classics as candy-color ribbon belts and wood-handled Bermuda bags. Isaac Mizrahi showed preppy-inspired outfits, pictured right, from his latest collection last month in New York City?available in the U.S. at Target stores and online at target.com.

Winer got to know Richard Kerry and saw how father and son related. "[Richard] was a dissident, a genuine dissident within the Department of State. He was not of the manor or the manner born. But he had the style and the capacity to become a foreign service officer anyway. He left because...
...Lovely proceeds from a miscalculated device. A nameless shade (Jonathan Pryce) arrives to conduct the aged, crippled Porter (Kevin Kline) out of this world into the next. Before they depart, they naturally pause to contemplate Porter's 73 years of existence. His homosexuality is not elided. His tense and enigmatic marriage to Linda Lee Thomas (Ashley Judd) is inconclusively examined. So is the riding accident that crushed both his legs and put him in constant, searing pain and (this is not mentioned) led to drug addiction for the last quarter-century of his life...
