JERUSALEM: Benjamin Netanyahu looks set to ride out the crisis sparked by Mossad's botched assassination attempt on a Hamas leader in Jordan. Hamas itself is buoyant. The real loser from the incident appears to be Yasser Arafat. As the hapless Mossad hit men returned home Monday, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin ? released as part of the same deal ? was welcomed in Gaza by tens of thousands of Palestinians. Arafat now has either to seek coexistence with Hamas ? and earn the ire of Israel and the U.S.? or to confront an adversary growing in power and influence. ?Arafat?s room for maneuver...

In the course of a day's trading, the firm will be in and out of 50 stocks, betting millions on tiny ticks of the tape. Cramer, whose 22% compound annual return over nine years marks him as a winning investor, is perhaps an even greater show. He spends most...
Eddie Quinn turns to his wife Maureen and warns her against trying to figure him out. "You can't understand my obscurity," he says, "unless you have infrared vision." Actually, Eddie, the flailing loser played by Sean Penn in the new lower-depths romance She's So Lovely, is as easy to read as the funny papers. He loves the mouthy Maureen (Penn's own wife Robin Wright Penn) and will do anything to keep her or get her back. Penn, though, is a more challenging read: Studs Lonigan, say, rewritten by Brando's tougher kid brother...
