...political history. "Were there realities from which I was running?" And then his answer: "My truth is that I am a gay American." That thunderclap was quickly followed by two more: McGreevey said that he had had an extramarital affair with a man and that he will resign Nov. 15. McGreevey neglected to mention that he unburdened himself because he expected the man to sue him for sexual harassment...
...items used by the U.N. in Ethiopia and supplied to the U.S. army, as well. No one has claimed that these "coffins" were once supplied for $172 each but, in 1999, were bought for $2,500 each.

"I'm not going to surrender," Arafat said in a meeting with Qurei, sources who were there told TIME...
...This has been a surprise. When Okada became party president less than three months ago, the DPJ was in turmoil. Its two most senior members, Naoto Kan and Ichiro Ozawa, had succumbed to a far-reaching pension scandal that forced them to resign their leadership posts. With only weeks to go before the election, the nation's largest opposition party seemed rudderless and lacking a message. Political pundits predicted a thumping defeat at the hands of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's near-hegemonic Liberal Demo-cratic Party (LDP), which has had a nearly uninterrupted hold on power for almost...
