Eric Pooley only scratched the surface in writing of Jimmy Buffett's appeal to his Parrothead fans the world over [SHOW BUSINESS, Aug. 17]. Buffett is a folk, country, rock-'n'-roll, calypso, Latin, honky-tonk, Big Band, reggae, bebop, Tin Pan Alley, zouk, polka singer. He has become a spokesman for those of us who still enjoy being "the people our parents warned us about." For 364 days of the year, we deal with unadulterated crap, but on the 365th, Buffett comes to town and we slip away to Margaritaville. Being a Parrothead isn't without its responsibilities, however...
UNITED NATIONS: For Muammar Ghaddafi, that was a poker face. The Libyan leader's rambling, repetitive and occasionally defiant interview on CNN Thursday afternoon -- "They are not pieces of fruit," Ghaddafi said more than once, referring to the suspects in the Pan Am 103 bombing -- left observers first chuckling and then wondering: How sincere...
...legal right to try anyone for the murder of an American citizen abroad, prosecutors first have to get their hands on the suspect, and that has proved a major stumbling block even in cases where miscreants are firmly identified.

But the U.S. isn't expecting Ghaddafi to accept. "This all may be for show," says TIME Washington correspondent Douglas Waller. "Ghaddafi must have ordered the bombings -- there are no rogue agents in Libya -- and it's hardly likely that he'll turn over two of his lieutenants...
...large majority of terrorists who carried out operations--those who bombed the U.S. embassy in Beirut, American peacekeepers in Lebanon, U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, Pan Am 103; those who hijacked TWA 847 and shot up the Rome and Vienna airports--have never been caught or punished. Countries long deemed the fountainheads of terrorism, like Iran, Syria and Sudan, have never felt the sting of U.S. retaliation. Even so, as the Administration dispatched its teams of investigators to Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Berger vowed that the U.S. would succeed. Said he: "Our strongest weapon is our persistence...
