...mandate. And in Spain, Prime Minister José María Aznar accused opposition leader José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero of "laying his hopes on the coffins of Spanish soldiers" to prove that Spain's involvement is unwise.

If anything, politicians in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic say, the suicide attack strengthened their resolve. The first of 400 Danish...
NEOPS (short for neopunks) embrace the do-it-yourself ethos of punk as an alternative to mass production.

General Ricardo Sanchez, commander of the coalition ground forces in Iraq, "there's by no means any sense of comfort on my part that we have identified and secured everything that was out there." The Pentagon is so concerned that it is offering $500 for every shoulder-fired missile Iraqis turn over to authorities...
...look as if they spend the day with sand between their toes. In addition to its private label, PacSun stocks brands like Billabong, Quiksilver and Hurley, lines that pro surfers and skaters wear. Even though teens can get some of these brands at mass merchandisers such as Wal-Mart and Target, "they think shopping at PacSun is cooler," says Jennifer Black, a retail-stock analyst for Wells Fargo Securities. She adds that there is little danger of the surf trend's evaporating, as it has been around since the 1950s...
