...colluded in at least one nuclear transaction - a charge Musharraf angrily denied. The Islamabad High Court swiftly muzzled him in July 2008, denying any future access to the media. But over recent months, he began writing a regular newspaper column, "Random Thoughts," a platform he has used to rail against Musharraf's campaign against militancy and to fondly recall decades past, when he had the ear of Pakistan's leaders. Despite what she believes are restrictions on his ability to speak out, his wife says Khan will continue to write his column...
...spending couldn't possibly create jobs - especially spending on biomedical research or education about STDs or any other programs that sound vaguely liberal and exotic.

...field and white cross of their national flag, Swiss supporters rang cowbells and cheered with an intensity matched only by the home team's fans, who alternated between long, head-ache-inducing horn blasts and renditions of La Marseillaise. The small British delegation hung T shirts over the rail printed with the encouragement ALLEZ LES ROSBIFS. With nearly 50 people, the U.S. fielded its largest delegation ever. "Last time, our uniform was a sweatshirt that my wife ironed U.S.A. decals onto," says Gavin Kaysen, who competed in the 2007 Bocuse. Now dressed in one of the sleek, matching jackets printed...
