Finally, writes Peretz, "Sack...is still trying to prove that there were two Holocausts, one by the Nazis against the Jews, the other-after the war-by Jews against the Germans." Peretz truly calls this delirious history, but the delirium isn't mine but his, for I've never called what Jews did in 1945 a Holocaust. Indeed, I specifically write on the second page of An Eye for an Eye, "This was no Holocaust or the moral equivalent of the Holocaust." --John B. Sack...
Such delays can prove fatal. Tanya (not her real name), an 11-year-old from Miami who is HIV positive, had to watch her younger sister die last year while they waited for permission to take a protease inhibitor. Both girls had been infected in utero; their mother died a couple of years later. "The [pharmaceutical company] said they didn't have the right dosage for children," the girls' foster mother recalls.

And the fact that Liggett will turn over hundreds of thousands of insider documents that states hope will prove severely damaging to the tobacco industry had plaintiffs almost giddy. While Philip Morris won a temporary restraining order to prevent Liggett from turning over the papers, Mississippi Attorney General Mike Moore said that won't make a bit of difference to other judges around the country. In roughly three months, Mississippi...
JERUSALEM: Making a visit into Jerusalem, King Hussein personally offered his condolences to the families of the seven schoolgirls killed by a Jordanian soldier last Thursday. Hussein's diplomacy may prove to be more effective at healing feelings than at changing Israeli policy. After a two-hour private meeting with the Jordanian leader, Benjamin Netanyahu announced his government's determination to proceed with construction of a 6,500-unit housing settlement in east Jerusalem. The initial announcement of the settlement plans sparked an angry response from Hussein last week and prompted Yasser Arafat to cut off all communication with Netanyahu...
