CONTEXT Longer hemlines are showing up in fashion designs for spring 2008, indicating that U.S. economic woes could worsen. Nicole Miller and Josh Goot had hemlines at the knee, and Generra and Miss Sixty's hems were mostly midthigh. The fashion houses could just be foreshadowing what will come next year: by 2008, 2 million people could foreclose on their homes as a result of the subprime-mortgage crisis...
...watched his beloved city-state fall to the Spanish in 1512. Under the subsequently installed Medici family, he was imprisoned, tortured by having his shoulders dislocated, and banned from his former offices.

...only the first week of the season, but already the list of injured players is growing. Both New York quarterbacks - Eli Manning of the Giants and Chad Pennington of the Jets - may miss games because of shoulder and ankle injuries, respectively.

Actually, I earned more than the $12 mil, but my lawyers say I can't talk about that until our case is settled...
...political prospects in Iraq encouraging. Washington has blown hot and cold this summer about the wisdom of sticking with what the Government Accountability Office called the "dysfunctional" al-Maliki's government. The current wind is marginally positive, but it was hard to miss the way Bush summoned the entire Iraqi A-team to Anbar during his surprise visit to press them to move faster. Iraqis tell Time, however, that it doesn't really matter if al-Maliki stays or leaves. As long as the current cast of dubious and discredited characters continues to dominate Iraqi politics, reconciliation is not going...
