...When Prince at one point indicated that he was eager to get back to work the next day, Weill jabbed, "What, not today?" Weill also quipped that the new team--which includes Citi president Robert Willumstad, 57, who will take the additional title of chief operating officer--"better not screw...
...these bio-tipped missiles did, in fact exist, then the failure to find them must surely rank as the most frightening screw-up of the war. If they're still out there, then the 150,000 U.S. personnel currently in Iraq are presumably in considerable danger, and the likelihood of bio-weapons finding their way into terrorist hands would have increased rather than decreased as a result of Saddam's ouster.

If it isn't the SARS superspreader in the next hotel room, it's some fool of a suicide bomber boarding your bus. Plan your itinerary, by all means. But first of all check the somber travel advisories and wild-eyed security alerts, the shrill breaking-news bulletins, the evacuation routes. And read the small print on your travel insurance...
