...bought the store and decided to build a community. I wanted it bright and open with nothing to hide." Composed and articulate, Decima sits with the rigid posture of a school-mistress, a remnant of her last job as a high-school drama teacher. Decima is, of course, a nom de guerre: she got into BDSM with her husband and, in her personal time, likes to be both dominant and submissive. But Decima will only be tied up by her spouse. "Giving up power for a certain period, if you're with the right person," she explains, "is a huge...
...Hamas military-wing leader, who goes by the nom de guerre Abu Ali, met TIME's Jamil Hamad in the early hours of Friday morning in an isolated village in the West Bank. Hamas is one of two major militant Islamic groups operating in the Palestinian territories and Israel. The other group, Islamic Jihad, has taken responsibility for last week's Jerusalem car bombing.

Now, hyped only by word of mouth--no in-your face TV spots and no three-story billboards...

So Matt freaks, Russell double freaks, both erupt in hysterics, Russell leaves in a tizzy, Matt cuddles the traumatized Ryder. Isolated incident? Well, not if you consider...
...want to label me," says Lincoln, "anarchist is as close as you're going to come." Lincoln is a lanky 19-year-old Texan who came to Seattle to protest "one-world government" and will leave sporting a nom de guerre, a nasty forehead gash courtesy of a tear-gas canister, and a green bandanna for meeting the press. His beliefs mirror a standard anarchist line: Autonomous government, yes. Private property, no. Would he commit acts of violence to further them? In some cases, Lincoln allows...
