...parishioners who will surround the delegates' reception Monday to plead for Third World debt relief. But scores of "radical jeerleaders" are practicing their choreographed cheers in church basements: "Smash the state/ Let's liberate!" Four Molotov cocktails were lobbed into an empty Gap store in downtown Seattle this month, Gap being a focus of antisweatshop protests. No wonder the city has budgeted $6 million for police overtime and is stockpiling tear gas. "If there are rowdy guests, we plan to treat them that way," says Seattle Mayor Paul Schell...

He told Hillsdale's board of trustees, and the conservative magazine National Review, that just hours before she shot herself, Lissa, editor of the school's monthly journal of conservative thought, had gone to the hospital room where...
...about the man and his music. Before Bob Marley, reggae was an island; after Marley, reggae was global. And almost 20 years after his death, Marley's influence is still growing. A dance remix of his hit Sun Is Shining is the No. 1 song in U.S. clubs. Next month an all-star tribute to Marley will be held in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica, featuring performers ranging from Sarah McLachlan to Busta Rhymes (it will air on TNT Dec. 19). And next month Bob Marley: Soul Rebel (Thunder's Mouth; 144 pages; $22.95), by former Billboard reporter Maureen Sheridan, will...
