...rift over the judges may be only a precursor. Many fear that Zardari's and Sharif's parties will revert to the vicious infighting that plagued Pakistan in the late 1980s and '90s. That was bad enough, but Pakistan has nuclear weapons now, and al-Qaeda is still picnicking in its backyard. The military, headed by General Ashfaq Kayani, has promised to stay out of politics, but if the situation deteriorates, it may be forced to intervene. "I don't think [Kayani] will let the country come apart," says Anthony Zinni, a retired four-star Marine general who from...
While animator Bill Melendez worked on a vast range of cartoons during his nearly 70-year career, it was bringing Charles Schulz's Peanuts characters to life on TV and in film that brought him fame. He got his start in the late '30s with Walt Disney, working on Bambi, Dumbo and other projects before moving on to animate Warner Bros. characters like Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig.

They spent the morning retracing familiar paths, calling on homes they most likely have visited before and, as always, completing...
...Speculation often centers on one of his three sons, the favorite being the Swiss-educated, alleged Eric Clapton fan, Kim Jong Chul (though in a memoir published last year, Kim's former sushi chef, a Japanese citizen with the pseudonym Kenji Fujimoto, says Jong Chul, who is in his late 20s, is out because his father once said, "he is no good because he is like a little girl.") It may not matter because the North's generals can run the country regardless of its figurehead...
