...recipient is a U.S. ally and isn't denying the purchase. And despite the efforts of the U.S. and many other countries to curb missile proliferation, the sale of conventional weapons is not in itself illegal. Yemen on Tuesday protested the seizure of the missile shipment, and demanded its return, and after talks with U.S. officials Washington agreed to hand them over. But the procurement of the SCUDS breaks a promise U.S. officials say Yemen has made to refrain from buying missiles and parts from North Korea, and could cast a chill on the country's relations with Washington. Yemen...
...television had the technical expertise required to execute this type of sophisticated attack. Police are still stumped about the Oct. 18 bombing of a bus in Manila.

So far, Arroyo has been eager to take the fight to the bad guys. Her problem, like many other heads of state, is the difficulty of actually finding the terrorists...
...wait for my shipment of Glow to arrive, and bemoan the fact that I would be a far richer woman and well on my way to a debt-free education if I had only had a camera (imagine how much Entertainment Tonight would pay for a picture of Ben feeding Jennifer chocolate cake—which I had cut!), I thought I’d share this story with all the other celebrity-dazzled, Oscar-watching, magazine-reading moviegoers out there.

AGRICULTURE Let them eat beef It seems like good news, unless you're a cow: 19 months after the foot-and-mouth crisis stopped exports from Britain, the first shipment of beef left Wales, bound for the gourmet market in Holland. Back in 1995 British beef was big business, with 274,000 tons, worth $810 million, shipped around the world. Then BSE, or "mad cow" disease, laid waste to the industry. The French, who imported 100,000 tons annually, banned...
