...roust some "illegal settlers." On March 27 Tsadiqui Hussain, the lean and weary police chief of Faisalabad, Pakistan, was told by superiors that his officers were needed for some routine arrests. Hussain didn't think much of it. Faisalabad, in the center of Punjab province, is a humming mill town, and illegal immigrants are always turning up there in search of work. But shortly after midnight, some unexpected visitors came striding into Hussain's colonial-era office. They were members of Pakistani military intelligence, accompanied by American CIA and FBI personnel wearing bulletproof vests. This was hardly routine...
...general attitude of the performance was enthusiastic, intense and fun. I don’t know how he managed it but Morrison danced while playing the guitar and did it well. I’m not talking about your standard run-of-the-mill mosh pit heand-banging; he was actually dancing.

Many prominent economists, including Robert Blecker of American University, believe that a strong tariff will not result in significant price increases or any job losses. Without an adequate tariff, Blecker argues, the U.S. economy stands to lose more than 300,000 jobs. The President should not bow to the pressures of foreign importers who are profiting...
...knows how many jealous spouses, paranoid business managers and run-of-the-mill perverts have rushed out to buy their own snooping devices. Miniaturization technology and cheaper electronics have enabled thousands of Taiwanese to become amateur Big Brothers, surreptitiously videotaping employees, friends and total strangers without regard for privacy or propriety. Shopowners retailing tiny spy cameras (which cost between $30 and $400) say sales jumped tenfold after the Chu Mei-feng scandal. One of the hottest toys last Christmas was a Winnie the Pooh plush doll with cameras in its eye sockets...
