...starts to heat up again next spring, and the U.S. leans on its allies in Europe for more troops, opposition to the Afghanistan campaign is likely to grow. The consequences of a withdrawal could be awful. But the clamor for it is getting louder. - Reported by William Boston / Berlin, Leo Cendrowicz / Brussels, Bruce Crumley / Paris and Catherine Mayer / London...
Despite the terms at their disposal, police departments often prefer to dub an individual a person of interest because it has a measure of political correctness that technical terms lack, according to Dr. Rande Matteson, an ex-officer and professor of criminal justice at Florida's Saint Leo University.

Leo told us, "I'm going to be a first-time father at 52 in a few weeks, and I can really see this as a wonderful teaching tool in our home." And video-game veteran Gilbert announced, "I'm going to buy the game the day it comes out." That's three - make...
