...Friendship" tour to, in the actor's words, "reach out, to cross borders, make contact" (and generate some publicity for Qantas). Travolta, who has a pilot's license, bought a Qantas Boeing 707 four years ago and lavishly redesigned its interior. The airline kicked in a fresh coat of paint and some flight training--though, if a stunt double is needed, a back-up crew will be on board...

He finds most of his models in the streets around his studio in Walthamstow, in east London.

The teams' bold performances filled Asians with a pride that football has never before afforded them, and did much to distract them from their countries' stuttering economies and tiresome politics. Yet many of the World Cup's promised...
...Bush administration. When Israeli troops made their first incursions into the West Bank in April it threatened Washington's relations with key Arab allies in the war on terror. Al-Qaeda is certainly well aware of the connection, which is why its latest al-Jazeera advertorial tries to paint the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as al-Qaeda's very raison d'?tre. In response to pressure from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, the Bush administration has agreed to launch a new diplomatic intervention. But there's little reason to believe the vision outlined in Monday's speech will be enough...
