...Sparrows got cocky and started bumping off suspected informants and civilians. As a counter, a vigilante group called Alsa Masa emerged in the mid-'80s, armed in part by the military and set on wiping out local communists. The vigilantes were popular until they too ran amok. A mini civil war erupted. One notably violent area called Agdao was rechristened "Nicar-agdao...
...Lipson, a matrimonial attorney, has a commando-like determination to land a husband that puts The Bachelor's contestants to shame. ("I will not be not married at 30," she says. "I have a whole life plan. And it starts with this summer.") ABC calls the show a "reality mini-series"--networkese for "If we said 'documentary,' nobody would watch"--but the low-key, cinema verite narrative may put off fans of Survivor's contrived reality. Quinn Taylor, ABC's senior vice president for movies and mini-series, says Kopple resisted suggestions that she artificially juice the action. "We would...

Group distributed to tens of thousands of members, depicting Ogami on an urgent mission to find banaba leaves in the Philippine jungle. Ogami regularly halts the hunt to strike kung fu poses in his boxer shorts...
Without doubt, the mini-keyboard was the winner of the first two challenges. My thumbs were able to navigate the keys easily by touch, though surprisingly they did a lot better on the Treo's keyboard than on the Clie's (the Treo's is smaller, but the keys aren't quite so flat). The text raced across the screen fast enough for me to take dictation, and I soon needed to hit the delete key only once a paragraph or so. It made me realize how regularly I make mistakes in Graffiti--every other g comes...
