...switch of airplanes. As he left India to go to Pakistan, Clinton walked toward an official U.S. jet - and then got into an unmarked aircraft that would be less easily identified by terrorists. And that was before 9/11, the war in Iraq, and the kidnapping and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, not to mention multiple attempts on the life of the country?s president, Pervez Musharraf...
...Soviets' firing line. A hired Turkish assassin, Mehmet Ali Agca, was convicted of shooting the Pontiff in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981. (After briefly being released earlier this year, Agca is back in an Istanbul prison serving time for an earlier killing of a Turkish journalist). Italian prosecutors long held that the Bulgarian secret service was working for Soviet military intelligence, but an Italian court held that the evidence was insufficient to convict the Bulgarians in the plot.

Too often, newspapers and pundits have stated that Summers’ downfall was due to an extreme faculty obsessed with the idea of political correctness. Summers’ comments on the differences in the “intrinsic aptitude?...
...course some lazy journalists won't like Geraldo Rivera's show American Vice: The Doping of a Nation (PRESS, Dec. 22). But bravo for Geraldo! His live telecast of drug busts gave us a look at the real world, not the slick, Madison Avenue version of it served up by a senior anchorman sitting in air-conditioned comfort. Rivera investigated the drug mess in the only logical way -- by going out and seeing it. Funny that in wartime the frontline journalist is a courageous, noble hero. In covering the drug war, however, Rivera is depicted by TIME as a gonzo...
