...issue among 9/11 conspiracists--the crash site doesn't look right. There's not enough damage. The hole smashed in the Pentagon's outer wall was 75 ft. wide, but a Boeing 757 has a 124-ft. wingspan. Why wasn't the hole wider? Why does it look so neat...
...hamlet of Chappaqua in New York's affluent Westchester County, people have never become jaded about their most famous neighbors, Bill and Hillary Clinton. Well-wishers swarm them after the parade on Memorial Day: dozens of people jostling on the neat lawn by Chappaqua's train station, shaking hands, taking pictures, posing enthusiastic questions about world affairs. "We're not really royal-watchers," says a sheepish Chappaqua resident, Mike Bass, once he's done snapping photos. But, sure, it is exciting, he says. "How many former Presidents are there?

Hillary of late has made a point of stepping up her criticism of the Bush Administration, to the point of calling for the ouster of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

So while we correctly asserted that you don't need new physical infrastructure, I don't think we fully appreciated how much change in the mental infrastructure...
...late may, four boats belonging to Diego Crespo Sevilla chug out of a port in southwest Spain to enact an elaborate marine ambush. About 50 fishermen drop hundreds of red markers, attached to nets, which bob for nearly 2 km along the water's surface, forming rows as neat as traffic lanes on a highway. Then they maneuver their boats to form a wide square, and they wait. As the sun rises an hour later, a drama begins to unfold. Nearly 200 huge tuna glide through the lanes until they find themselves trapped atop a net that the fishermen have...
