...eight hours. Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl watched the tsunami from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Thalpe, Sri Lanka. "I recalled images from the war, which I experienced as a boy," Kohl wrote in the tabloid Bild. "It appeared as if after a heavy bombing raid." Amid so much death and heartbreak, there were also miracles. A 10-year-old British girl, Tilly Smith, was credited with saving 100 lives by recognizing the signs of a tsunami and sounding a warning in time to clear Maikhao Beach in Phuket. The raging waters forced an Australian mother...
Next year I would either like to be tucked away in an MFA [Master of Fine Arts] program somewhere or in New York (and there, I would like to either work at some artsy or intellectual magazine or raid the designer closet at Vogue). In 10 years, I would like to be in New York writing novels and doing the same...
...hours stalking consular staff. The five victims were third-country nationals employed by the consulate, and two American staff were among the 12 wounded. In the ensuing shootout with embassy guards and Saudi security forces, Al Juhaini and three other militants were killed and one was captured.

Sure, you can take your homies on that drive-by shooting raid on a rival gang, or you can grab a car at random and simply explore the state of San Andreas. The designers at Rockstar have packed the cities of Los Santos and San Fiero (a.k.a. Los Angeles and San Francisco) with hundreds of Easter egg--like surprises for many happy days...
...after losses. And the rebels continue to adapt their tactics, adding TNT to their IEDs, for instance, to make them more lethal. In Ramadi they have begun attacking more at night; in Fallujah they have dug into defensive positions. A U.S. military battle-planning officer in Fallujah says the raid left a "big intel wake," information that will be useful later, he says, when the military moves to retake the city. No one can say when that will be. Corpsman Scott Pribble, a Navy medic with the 3/5, had said before last week's operation that he hoped he wouldn...
