Most experts, including the CIA, say that while Saddam may lust for a bomb, he hasn't got one yet. But he has demonstrated a continued interest in acquiring one. Iraq still has the technical capacity: military officials point to Saddam's continued employment of 200 nuclear Ph.D.s and 7,000 ancillary workers at a secret location near Baghdad, who, the Americans say, perfect bomb designs through low-level R. and D. Inspectors were not able to destroy all of Iraq's nuclear-manufacturing equipment, and U.N. experts say Saddam has been able since 1998 to smuggle in material...

...Sept. 11 were an act of war against liberal values and the nation blessed with the resources, courage and faith to champion those values globally. Our enemies have as their cause the spread of a political-religious empire based on a perverted interpretation of Islam that substitutes a lust for violence for a love of peace.

...landed. And of these, "Balls" is certainly the greater. The first song was standard 12-bar boogie: C, C, F, C, G-F, C. "Great Balls," written by ace '50s rock composer Otis Blackwell (of "Don't Be Cruel" and "Fever" fame) and Jack Hammer, is a declaration of lust so impatient it needs only eight bars, dropping the second and fourth C lines.

...Studio bosses had exploited the favors of starlets for decades, but they had a front office with a back bedroom. Russ was on location. With his crew of guy pals. And few nooks to nuzzle in. But his lust would not be dammed. During a break on the set of "Beneath the Valley of the Ultravixens," he had a quick, volcanic dose of Kitten. They returned to the set, with, as Russ relates, "Miss Natividad out of concern, choosing to quiz the filmmaker: ?Do you think anyone knew what we were doing?' 'Sure,' RM replying blithely: 'When you came back...
