...Rudy: Organize This! Joe Klein's "Passing the Torch" was a tonic for me [Nov. 17]. During the Republican Convention, when Rudy Giuliani sneered that he didn't know what a community organizer is and Sarah Palin made similar sarcastic remarks, the insult was personal and deep. My mother, a beloved longtime community organizer, has been gone for 10 years, yet her accomplishments in the communities she loved are still lauded and taught to a new generation.

Prison authorities say guards have been paid $2,000 - more than a month's wages - to bring in contraband cell phones. Small cell phones and postage-stamp-size SIMM cards are easy to smuggle into prisons in body cavities or simply...
...families still in Bosnia? Two of the families are in Algeria. The other men's wives and children are all in Bosnia. One of the sons said to his mother last Friday, not having seen his dad in seven years, "I have this major sports competition coming up in two weeks. Do you think Dad will be home in time to see it?" Those families are primed and ready for these men to come home...
