Despite all that has been learned, mistakes are still made. Last week four U.S. soldiers died when a rocket they were destroying exploded prematurely in the desert near Kandahar. Later a U.S. Air National Guard pilot killed four Canadians and seriously wounded eight others after mistaking muzzle flashes from a Canadian live-fire nighttime exercise for an enemy attack. The pilot dropped at least one 500-lb. laser-guided bomb on the allies...
...lying in wait) and two counts of solicitation of murder. The aggravated-murder charge can carry the death penalty. Blake's bodyguard, Earle Caldwell, was also arrested, and police say he will be charged with one count of conspiracy to commit murder. A creepy bit of foreshadowing: in the pilot episode of Baretta, the cop's TV wife is killed outside a restaurant...
...smoke billowed from a MILAN SKYSCRAPER struck head-on by a small plane last week, the scene eerily recalled images of the World Trade Center attacks. But none of Italian authorities' theories about the CRASH, which killed the PILOT and two others, point to terrorism.

But economists say the union's bargaining strength is leading to its long-term...
Here's how democracy works in the digital age. Just before Apple unveiled the iPod last October, the Internet rumor mill was rife with speculation that the device would be some kind of personal organizer--Steve Jobs' answer to the Palm Pilot. The iPod turned out to be a palm-size music player with a five-gigabyte hard drive (a 10-GB version was released two weeks ago). But now, six months later, that original speculation doesn't seem too wrong. That's because Apple's hard-core users quickly figured out how to hack the device and write...
