...Iridium, a basement jazz club across from Lincoln Center in Manhattan, Les Paul sidles up a narrow aisle between tables. He is smaller, more gnomish, but still recognizably the wizard of Waukesha, the garage mechanic's son who revolutionized the way music was played and recorded. And since he turned 86 just two days before, and is looking forward to celebrating his birthday with some famous friends, Paul has a special glow. He sits on a stool surrounded by a few admiring musicians and starts playing 'Over the Rainbow' on one of his famous guitars...
...Genoa. Up to 100,000 protestors are expected to try and reach the fabled port to register their discontent with President Bush and the other leaders of the world's most industrialized nations - and that has city authorities extremely worried, particularly in light of the difficulties in policing its narrow streets. They reportedly considered holding the summit on a ship in the bay, but later decided that would be a colossal humiliation. Still, they're planning to billet the heads of state aboard ships, from where they can be flown to the summit venue, and to create a "ring...
...hood like a doll, dead. With screaming tires, Salameh turned his truck and sped off. He headed for Balata refugee camp at the edge of Nablus. The patrolmen chasing him were nervous.

They found a dozen other stolen vehicles at the edge of the camp and impounded...
...Balata's narrow streets, the chaotic traffic writhes slowly and fractiously between the cinder-block auto shops in the simmering heat of spring on the valley floor. More than 800 feet above the dusty camp, on the lush peak of Mount Gerizim, a monumental structure is rising, half Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, half Taj Mahal. It is the new home of a leading member of the Masri family, the most powerful and wealthy clan in Nablus. It is a reminder, too, of the differences between the unruly refugee camp and the Palestinian metropolis in the West Bank, and a symbol...
...talk in more detail, but asks to remain anonymous because he's worried that he "might not live to see tomorrow's sunrise." He is a man of imposing girth, dressed in a silk shirt printed with fierce-looking dragons. His office is three flights up a dark, narrow staircase and everything in it?the stuffed tiger, the golden gong?is half concealed by red lighting and a haze of incense smoke. He insists government reforms are being orchestrated by officials with ties to larger funeral companies that want to see firms like his go belly up. Threatening these officials...
