...force. Taliban fighters used to slip into Afghanistan from their Pakistani hideouts in groups of 60 to 100; today each group numbers five or fewer. Taliban leader Mullah Omar and his 10 loyal commanders still direct military operations--but they're phoning it in, say coalition officials. An Afghan liaison with U.S. special forces says Omar was spotted two months ago in Karachi, Pakistan. A U.S. officer in Kandahar says a Taliban fighter was recently overheard lamenting on a radio, "Where are you, Omar? Why have you forsaken...
...film about a San Francisco college girl's research into swinging sexuality has no bondage, no discipline, just nice or slightly bent people doing what comes hornily. Debra (charming, unaffected Debra Allen) investigates phone sex, a father-son duo and pornographic literature, plus the inevitable group grope. The finest liaison involves a woman, Elizabeth, who wants to keep her five-year marriage fresh by giving Debra as a present to her husband Tony. The catch: Elizabeth has to "direct" the scene, which she does with a gentle, practiced bossiness. "Tony, your knee's in my way -down!" "Harder, harder!" "Come...
...Under pressure, the Taliban leadership is beginning to split. Omar and a band of 10 loyal commanders still conduct military operations-but only from a distance, according to coalition officials. One Afghan official who acts as liaison with U.S. Special Forces says that Omar was spotted two months ago in Karachi, more than 800 km away from the Afghan field of battle, though Abdul Latif Hakimi, a Taliban spokesman, denies the report.

In the past, he criticized some decisions during Powell's tenure as too lenient--such as not fining Fox for the horse-prostitute liaison on Keen Eddie--and called for fines not only to be stiffer but also to be assessed "per utterance," not per incident (one unbleeped Dave Chappelle routine, and you're in the poorhouse). He also wants to restore the "family hour" to prime time. Decency advocates are big fans. "He can send the signal that the agency has to get serious," says Bozell...
...under the control of pro-Russian Chechen forces; Tsentoroy, Kadyrov's home base, is only around 20 km away. Maskhadov was planning to move on toward Achkhoy Martan in western Chechnya. When his security detail failed to make contact, the guerrillas started calling down the chain of Maskhadov's liaison agents. Using some of his many nicknames - including one, Big Ears, that he disliked intensely - they asked if anyone had sighted Maskhadov. Nobody had, but this didn't cause major alarm. Rumors had been flying among the guerrillas that some sort of secret negotiations with Moscow were about to take...
