...corner of our lives safe from a designer makeover? The latest renovation site: the kitchen sink. METHOD dish soap, in scents like mandarin, mint and cucumber, comes in bulbous plastic bottles crafted by Karim Rashid, the Egyptian-Canadian designer who has put his stamp on perfume bottles, expensive furniture and garbage cans. Martha Stewart has released her own impeccable bottle of dishwashing liquid...
...suspect in the abduction, Afghan war veteran Fazal Karim, has identified Mohammed as the man who drew the knife across Pearl's throat, two men who participated in Karim's interrogation tell TIME.

A warrant is out for Memon...
...Karachi police working on the Pearl case notice a distinct cooling in their superiors' interest these days. For them, the affair is closed; Saeed will hang for the crime. If they pursue clues provided by self-confessed kidnappers Karim and Bukhari, the Supreme Court might conceivably overturn Saeed's conviction, and nobody wants that. Khawaja Naveed Ahmed, a lawyer for one of Saeed's co-defendants, says, "Everyone involved got promotions. And now, there is no attempt to arrest the remaining suspects...
