If generations of boys found their mojo imitating the likes of Bruce Lee and James Bond, why shouldn't girls be equally juiced at the sight of a jumpsuited, sword-wielding Uma Thurman? ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY (a sister publication of TIME), recently ran an online list of Hollywood's 15 best "Butt-Kicking Babes," from the pugilistic Hilary Swank to the gun-toting Charlie's Angels...
...poor on both sides are united by a struggle just to survive what most Americans can barely imagine. Mothers in the rural El Paso outpost of Revolucion cross into Juarez to buy methyl parathion, a pesticide so lethal it is banned in the U.S. They sprinkle it around their shanties, and it kills the roaches and tarantulas for a year.

We must get beyond the venom and second-guessing and find common cause. We owe it to the men and women putting their lives at risk in order to protect us. We owe it to our children...
...Martin’s coaching and Brinkema’s subsequent restrictions, a death penalty conviction for Moussaoui looks much less likely. And because of our firm position against capital punishment, we welcome the likely outcome of this scenario—a lifetime prison sentence, rather than a lethal injection, for Moussaoui. Yet, it will arrive due to less-than-fortunate circumstances. This episode reveals an impermissible misconduct from the executive branch and its prosecuting arm. True, it is no easy task to prosecute immensely complex cases against terrorist suspects. But considering the vast amount of resources required to build...
