...characterize it as a "targeted killing." Indeed, Israeli military-intelligence sources tell TIME that Rayan was killed when he remained in his home after Israel had phoned and ordered those inside to evacuate - before striking to destroy command facilities in the house. Israel says it has used this "knock on the roof" practice of phoning warnings about strikes on the homes of Hamas leaders throughout the current campaign. Israeli officials say the campaign thus far has not significantly targeted or damaged Hamas' leadership and chain of command. (See pictures of Israel's campaign in Gaza...
...half of nothing, followed by a roller derby at 11:30. WPIX president Fred Thrower had a suggestion: the station would announce the cancellation of all its programming that evening "in order to present a WPIX Christmas card to our viewers."

"Anything you can think of that you want to try, it's capable of," he says. (See pictures of what makes you eat more food...
...Dude, Don't Knock the Book I have been dreading the release of the film Twilight [Dec. 1]. I felt certain that any movie version of the book would be hokey, and TIME's review of the film confirmed my fears. I take exception, though, to Richard Corliss's apparent condemnation of the source material. I have been reading fantasy and science fiction for more than two decades. Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) is captivating and original, with an audience that goes far beyond pubescent girls. It would be unfortunate if those...
