...Barcelona, Daly landed in New Jersey to coach the woeful Nets in 1992. He always deserved more credit for his brief stint in the Meadowlands swamp. Daly turned the Nets into legitimate Eastern Conference title contenders until John Starks of the New York Knicks broke the wrist of Nets point guard Kenny Anderson during the 1993 season. Then the team's scoring machine, Croatian shooting guard Drazen Petrovic, died in a car accident that summer. Daly left the Nets in 1994, and coached the Orlando Magic for two seasons in the late 1990s before leaving the sidelines, weary from...
Sandys, Bermuda. With 84 individual cabins built on stilts over the ocean, you can't get air any fresher than at this laid-back, independent Bermuda hotel. But the water is the focal point at 9 Beaches - so named for the number of pink-sand enclaves on the hotel's 18 acres - and you can kayak, snorkel, scuba, sail or use one of the hotel's pedal boats. Through May 23, the resort is offering Friday nights free with a five-night stay. And to commemorate Bermuda's 400th anniversary this year, guests can also get $400 off a minimum...
Israel is a major stop on Pope Benedict's journey and a focal point of Western involvement in the Middle East.

The flood of Palestinian refugees into Lebanon helped spark a civil war between Muslims and Christians there. And the ongoing occupation...

At one point, Ghobadi approached Saberi's visibly shaken mother, but she pushed him away, motioning him away with her hands. After Ghobadi's letter, Reza Saberi announced that he could not confirm Ghobadi as his daughter's fiancee. One source close to the family said they perceive him as taking advantage of her recent newsworthiness to publicize his film, and wonder why he was not speaking out for her before her case attracted such international attention. Ghobadi said...
Nikbakht and her other lawyer Abdolsamad Khoramshahi told TIME that the turning point in the five-hour appeals court session on Sunday was their argument that Iran and the United States were not at war. Saberi had initially been charged with spying for an enemy country. Nikbakht explained that in 2003, when another journalist and political analyst, Abbas Abdi, was charged with the same crime for publishing a poll that showed 74% of Iranians favored dialogue with the United States, he proved in court that this charge was legally unsound because Iran was not at war with...
