Aides to Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer say he would prefer to build the fence right along the Green Line. But practical problems have pushed Israeli planners to set the obstacle inside the West Bank at several points. The entire barrier network--which includes a ditch, several roadways, concertina wire and surveillance cameras, as well as a 10-ft.-tall electric fence--will be 130 ft. wide. That means there wouldn't be enough room to lay the network along the Green Line where it divides three Arab towns. As a result, the people of Barta'a, Baka is-Sharqiyeh...
...Hives are onstage, they aim to look like a gang of Swedish pimps working the world's most elegant street corner. All five band members wear identical black dress shirts and trousers, set off by white shoes and fluorescent white ties folded to look like ascots.

EXERCISE Before turning to drugs or talk therapy, many people prefer to try to bring their anxiety under control on their own. Unlike most emotional or physical conditions, anxiety disorders respond well to such self-medication--provided you know how to administer the treatment. One of the most effective techniques is simple exercise. It's no secret that a good workout or a brisk walk can take the edge off even the most acute anxiety. Scientists once believed the effect to be due to the release of natural opiates known as endorphins, but new research has called this into question...
...displays hanging in Richard James or in Boateng's shop, some on Savile Row stuck to their staid ways. But others responded with brighter designs and cheaper lines - which is one of the reasons the hip male style leaders in Britain (the editors of Arena, Esquire and GQ) now prefer traditional Savile Row tailoring over designer duds. Under the design direction of Carlo Brandelli, Savile Row's Kilgour French Stanbury has been rewarded with not only the business of the fashion crowd, but of the celebrity crowd as well. Actor Jude Law and musician Noel Gallagher are customers...
