...SERVE UP TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON. But waits at the security checkpoints (six have just been added, bringing the total to a generous 20) were usually less than five minutes, and passengers seemed to be handling the preholiday stress well--even the infirm elderly woman who tripped a metal detector and had to laboriously remove her black orthopedic shoes for inspection and watch her purse being ransacked before she was carted off, exhausted, in her wheelchair...
...split the nine-pound buffalo hump into two pieces and roast one in a Dutch oven set on the bottom of the fire and skewer the other on a metal pole laid over the fire. Both techniques produce a dry version of buffalo, which tastes a whole lot like beef, if a tiny bit tougher and leaner. It would be much better grilled, but it is still pretty good. It also might be better if Leandra hadn't insisted on putting a pile of dried buffalo dung into the fire right under...

His driver, Jaffa, floored the accelerator as high-velocity bullets sliced through the windscreen and panels of the 4x4, hitting Qadir in the head. Turning wildly to the right, the vehicle collided with metal poles lining the driveway, tearing them from the ground. The gunmen continued firing, pouring rounds through the rear window as the car careered along the footpath and crashed into a concrete wall at full speed. Jaffa's lifeless body was later pulled from the wreckage. Blood and brain matter covered...
