...what proved to be the fleeting devotion of teens and their parents with her wholesome image. Now 30 and married, with an 8-year-old son, Tiffany is plotting a return to music and an acting career. An album she released in 2000 received little notice because, says her publicist Jay Marose, "everyone still thought of her as 15." Her appearance in the April issue of Playboy should dispel that misconception. "I want to make sure people don't perceive this as a publicity stunt," says Marose.

But one would be wrong not to trust her, because as a writer she's the real deal. And as it happens, her work has much to say about both temptation and distrust...
Moderate Muslim leaders scoff at Butt as a self-publicist. But Zaki Badawi, principal of London's Muslim College, warns that "the idea that you can cut off the head of al-Qaeda and the body will wither is not going to happen." Ranstorp agrees. Though al-Qaeda's lair in Afghanistan may have been smashed, he says, "The snake has already laid a thousand eggs, which are hatching and slipping off in all directions." Foremost among them Britain...
