...they scour the grocery aisles for the best value in luncheon meat, the Cochrans, like many homeless families, are invisible to the rest of the world--invisible not because they provoke people to look away in discomfort or guilt but because they look and act no different from the rest of us. These are not the deranged homeless ranting in their portable bedlam, a ratty blanket near a street heat grate. Families like the Cochrans live in our neighborhoods, go to our churches, attend the same public schools as our kids. And in Columbus there are more of them every...
Even as UN weapons inspectors scour Iraqi installations for signs of prohibited weapons programs, Bush administration officials have insisted that their work would not be complete without interviewing Iraqi scientists outside the country. Now, TIME has learned from sources close to the inspection process, UNMOVIC inspectors plan to begin that process within days, when they will begin inviting an undisclosed number of Iraqi scientists to leave Iraq and be interviewed in Cyprus. UN Security Council Resolution 1441 allows for the inspectors to interview scientists outside of Iraq, taking them and their families to locations where they will be free from...
WHAT THE INSPECTORS SAW. In their searches last week, the inspectors found nothing illegal. But that's what everyone expected in the early days of a process that will start to get serious once Iraq's declaration has been processed.

...show of political testosterone intended to impress her APEC summit partners this week in Los Cabos, Mexico. She backed a controversial plan for a national ID card that will help keep tabs on bad guys. Her government also announced the deployment of 500 "secret marshals," plainclothes cops who will scour the nation looking for hoodlums. Arroyo's crackdown contrasted nicely with the foot-dragging of Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri, and could win her a private meeting with George W. Bush at APEC and, with luck, more financial and intelligence assistance from the U.S. But the war on terror requires more...
