Russian forces have begun attacking the rebels ? pooh-poohed by the official Russain news outlet as "bandits" -- with artillery and missile strikes.

If you walk through Comitan in the late afternoon, you can hear the loud cheers of the audience on the Mexican version of "The Price is Right." Tommy Hilfiger and Winnie the Pooh and American sports team regalia are popular in the small family-run stores. Their imitations are even more common: Tommy Halfmaker, sneakers with a "half Swoosh;" you name it--it's here...
