...Palestinian militants of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Arafat's peace agreements with Israel have always been beyond the pale, and their suicide bombings inside Israel have been a message both to the Israelis and to the Palestinian leader. Neither organization is likely to seek a direct showdown with Arafat on the Palestinian streets; instead, they'll challenge Arafat's authority by sending their kamikazes into Israel when he's trying to return to peace talks. And it's not only the radical Islamists who have no interest in the cease fire: A growing faction of Arafat's own Fatah organization...
...secret. To most of the media (The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and The New Yorker, for example), Detroit's neo-garage rock duo, The White Stripes, are siblings. After all, singer/guitarist Jack White, 25, and drummer Meg White, 26, have the same jet black hair and pale complexion, often perform in matching red and white outfits, and introduce themselves as brother and sister. But to Detroit, and to knowledgeable fans across the nation, the White Stripes are, first, a band with great songs and a distinctive sound, and second, a former husband and wife with a savvy sibling...

At least those little tufts sticking out of his cheeks gave some definition to his gaunt features. His beautiful pale blue eyes sat deep inside hollow eye sockets that were rimmed with black cuts created when his goggles froze to his face. The skin on his face resembled bronze leather and bore the effects of sub-zero temperatures, 100-mile-an-hour winds, biting snow and glaring sun. His clothes hung...
Mention robotic surgery and people typically envision a C3P0 in pale green scrubs, leaning over and digitally intoning: "This won't hurt a bit." It's not quite as cool as that. The robot Gardiner uses at San Ramon Regional Medical Center, in a grassy suburb an hour outside of San Francisco, is a gray-and-black three-armed wonder connected to a console that doesn't have anything witty to say. It looks exactly like what it is: a machine. But by allowing doctors to access and see parts of the body as never before - without large, open incisions...
