...group's accomplishments also dot much of the country, hinting at its nation-wide ambitions. Hizballah runs one of the country's finest schools, the Shahed (Witness) School--just a few minutes' walk from the Beirut barracks near the airport where a suicide bomber killed 241 U.S. servicemen in 1983. Children of Hizballah martyrs make up a quarter of the 1,000 students there, who are drilled in daily English classes. Another symbol of the new Hizballah is its al-Manara (Lighthouse) TV, which broadcasts news, soap operas, kiddie programs and with-the-guerrillas footage of attacks on Israeli fortifications...
...business with Washington. For starters, he has booted a number of radicals out of his country, including the infamous Abu Nidal.

Yes, we took the oath - we promised to honor and obey - but infidelity is a valid reason for divorce, and there's reason to be cynical about the Pentagon's record on not hanging servicemen "out to dry" on medical issues. Plenty of veterans of the Free Cigarettes War, the Agent Orange War and the Gulf War Illness War will attest to that. The Pentagon, the CDC and the NIH are all working furiously on a new, safer vaccine, as well as studying ways to make the current...
...will tell you she had a great sense of humor. And she was smart too. I first met Hedy at the Hollywood Canteen--she was handing out autographs...I was washing dishes. That's not quite true--she was a regular there, and danced and talked with the servicemen, cooked and served the food. My doing the dishes--now, that's true. Not a very good billing then, but I shared equal billing with her in our film My Favorite Spy in 1951. I played two parts, and both of them were Hedy's lovers. How about that for overtime...
