...speech also touched on the issues of peace with security, his readiness to negotiate with Palestinians and the fact that Israel has no quarrel with any of its Arab neighbors that cannot be solved amicably. But Silver notes that his omissions say more than the rhetoric: "He didn't mention the Oslo peace agreement, he set no time for redeploying troops from Hebron or meeting with Arafat. Unlike his predecessor, he still speaks of Arafat as a terrorist and shows visible repugnance at the prospect of meeting him." Netanyahu also insisted that peace negotiations cannot proceed as long as terrorist...
...they have simply substituted debt for cash. Now they are even flashing plastic to buy groceries. Household borrowing currently stands at a record $1.14 trillion, an amount equal to Britain's entire gross domestic product. A spike in interest rates could thus send U.S. consumers--not to mention the rest of the economy--into a funk...

...teenagers go, Moceanu is a natural. She squabbles with her younger sister, Christina, 6, who worships Moceanu's every step. She balks at her father's overprotectiveness. Boys? "Don't even get me started," she says, rolling her eyes. "My mom's a little better. But mention anything about boys, and my dad goes crazy." She has weird rituals. Ask her about her injury-free career, and she scurries for a balance beam to knock wood. Most refreshing, unlike so many world-class gymnasts, who sound as if they've spent too many hours in airless gyms inhaling chalk powder...
