...cried. That night I slept in an abandoned house, and the next day I went down to the main road. A rebel saw me waiting there and took me to the Summer Time clinic [a small clinic with a nurse but no doctor]. He gave me a bowl of rice. Then the other rebels came and took away the rice.

...forget to frisk the guests on the way out. The tip could have saved newly married Posh Spice, VICTORIA ADAMS, and soccer star DAVID BECKHAM thousands of dollars. Despite the 125 security men at their July wedding, some overly acquisitive celebrators went home with more than rice in their pockets. In an interview with a British paper last week, Posh says 75 rented silver goblets disappeared after the nuptials.
