...Administration needs to do more than just "take stock" of its strategy. The accidental bombing was more than just pilot error or a bomb gone astray--the embassy was wrongly targeted on the basis of faulty information from...
...music you always heard in your head--but never so well made. Foraying onto the micro-dancefloor, Saint Etienne enlist the expertise of Trouser Enthusiast to mix beats for your pulse in "We're in the City." Sean O'Hagan's electronic wizardry also guest-stars in "52 Pilot," lending a signature High Llamasian boost to Cracknell's tingle-worthy vocals. The album is an uncontested gem, but with its lamentably few (six!) tracks, its value lies elsewhere than its size (the album's sex appeal is only good for a half-hour). Another exclusive track, "Garage for Gunther...
...Jackson appealed to Syrian dictator Hafez al-Assad to release a Navy pilot that had been shot down over Lebanon. A few months later he went to Cuba to meet with Fidel Castro and arrange for the liberation of prison inmates.

That is the charge that stuck to Capt. Richard Ashby, says TIME Pentagon correspondent Mark Thompson, after the first court-martial revealed a series of mix-ups and deficiencies...
Though the U.S. military had imposed a minimum flight altitude limit of 2,000 feet for planes flying out of the Aviano air base, and though the plane flew much lower than that (the pilot said the altitude gauge had malfunctioned), ?one of the things that came out of this accident was the crew?s assertion that they had never heard of the 2,000-feet limit,? says Thompson. The Pentagon, which now relies heavily on Aviano for NATO's Kosovo campaign, has since redoubled its efforts to ensure that safety guidelines for pilots in Italy are made clear...
