With Syria keenly aware of the 250,000 U.S. troops next door, Bush's advisers decided "to rattle the cage" of Syrian President Bashar Assad, says a White House aide. Overnight the Administration swung its big guns from Baghdad toward Damascus and read Syria the riot act. President Bush charged Damascus with possessing illicit chemical weapons. Defense Secretary Rumsfeld said there was "absolutely no question" that Syria was harboring Iraqi leaders who had fled their defeated country; he added that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction might have been spirited to Syria as well. The Pentagon accused Damascus...
...open the border that has divided the island since 1974. "Now that it is finally happening," Pantakis said, pausing to catch her breath at the border, "I feel strange and emotional." The most impenetrable barrier in Europe - complete with razor wire, U.N. peacekeepers and venomous graffiti - was transformed overnight into a block party.

They are especially attractive to athletes and those who find daytime lenses uncomfortable...

More worrisome, Liang had dozed overnight in a chair next to five relatives of a man who was dying of SARS. By last Wednesday, all five family members had come down with the disease. "We relatives have to stay in that room without any protective measures, all day and all night," says Liang...
...dramatic change happened in Baghdad overnight - either that, or something very nasty is about to happen to the dozens of foreign journalists holed up in the Hotel Palestine. That was how the international press corps gathered at the Palestine Hotel in the Iraqi capital interpreted the sudden disappearance of most of the government minders who have remained at their sides throughout the war. TIME photographer Yuri Kozyrev phoned home Tuesday morning to report that most of the "guides" had gone, and not returned, leaving correspondents freed of government restraints but facing new perils in the final battle for Baghdad.
