...Meanwhile, writer-reporter Brian Bennett and contributing reporter Andrew Perrin both flew to Kuta, ground zero of the Oct. 12 blasts, to construct the definitive account of that night. Shocked by the devastation they encountered, both sought the only shelter at hand?their work. "At first I was trying to hold it together," says Bennett, "but then after seeing yet another body and another person breaking down, it finally got to me. I had to walk out of interviews shaking my head and taking deep breaths." For Perrin, an Australian, being on the scene where so many of his countrymen...
Home ownership has never been more pervasive across the U.S., and judging by the success of television's Trading Spaces and hgtv and the introduction of new shelter magazines such as Cachet, LivingRoom and Chic Simple, neither has home obsession.

As a 63-year-old curmudgeon, I remember how we felt then, and there was nothing humorous about bomb drills or the Cuban missile crisis or the likelihood that going into a shelter wouldn't save you. If we joked about the Bomb, it wasn't back then but well after the fact. And the laughter...
...Jamaat is also the main force behind the phenomenal growth of unlicensed madrasahs, known as qaumi madrasahs, in the past decade. There are now an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 in Bangladesh, of which 30 to 40, run by mujahedin veterans, are known to shelter militants and recruit fresh fighters. Such militants sometimes receive explicit encouragement from Bangladesh's spiritual leaders. Mullah Obaidul Haque, head of the national mosque in Dhaka and a Jamaat associate, told a gathering of thousands in the capital last December: "America and Bush must be destroyed. The Americans will be washed away if Bangladesh...
