...former MIC official insists that this view is mistaken. "In Iraq we don't write everything," he says. The claim that Saddam would destroy his most dangerous weapons of his own accord and not retain the means to prove it seems a stretch. But a captain in the Mukhabarat, the main Iraqi intelligence service, says he was a witness to just such an exercise. In July 1991, he says, he traveled into the Nibai desert in a caravan of trucks carrying 25 missiles loaded with biological agents. First the bulldozers took a week to bury them. It took three more...
Sisco's dramatic challenge is to retain Out of Sight's sensibility without repeating the movie, and itself: twice in two episodes we see Karen in flirtations with charismatic criminals and being taunted by creeps who don't think this little girl has the guts to shoot them. Its commercial challenge is to interest viewers in a cop with a personal life, in the time slot opposite NBC's no-feelings-please juggernaut Law & Order.

The game's guardians have since subtly reinterpreted some of the game's laws so that it's now easier for teams to retain possession and launch repeated raids, with the result that spectators at Tests in both hemispheres this year have seen an unusually high number of what most of them like best: tries. "The game's evolved," says All Blacks skipper Thorne. "Teams are a little better at defending than they were four years...
...left investors and civil-aviation experts scratching their heads. Air France CEO Jean-Cyril Spinetta and KLM chief Leo van Wijk said the two firms won't cut staff and will operate as before from their hubs, Charles de Gaulle in Paris and Amsterdam's Schiphol. And to retain KLM's international traffic rights, they've had to create a holding company that will own all the shares of both companies but control only 49% of KLM's votes. (Two foundations and the Dutch government will retain the rest for three years.) Any savings will take years to realize. Still...
