...country fell under total army rule late last week, few Pakistanis regretted the snuffing out of democracy. Militant Islamists tied to Afghanistan's Taliban government hailed the downfall of Sharif, who had suddenly clamped down on fundamentalist groups inside Pakistan following a three-week spasm of sectarian violence that left 40 dead. "There should be no elections in Pakistan--there should be a Taliban-like system in Pakistan," said the chief of the Harkatul Mujahideen, a militant group whose training centers were attacked by U.S. cruise missiles last year. Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, twice sacked for alleged corruption, praised...
Senior Joe Brussel, with his purple Burton backpack slung over his right shoulder, cell phone clipped to his tan cargo shorts, strolls into Frank Mandernach's advanced auto-mechanics class--late but relaxed.

It's a new approach that all smokers and ex-smokers, regardless of race, should keep...
...Wilt and I were enemies. That was far from reality. The older we got, the more we liked each other. Through the years I was always pleased when I'd answer the phone and hear, "Hello, Felton, this is Norman [our middle names]." Sometimes our calls would take us late into the night. We would talk about politics, spiritual things, even basketball. Ultimately we came to realize that we shared much more than just height. We shared an understanding of the road we had traveled. Playing basketball was never who we were. It was only what...
