...work in front of their kids, they have a screening service block all nonemergency calls after 6 p.m., and they don't ferry work-related messages to each other. "That's about it," says Hall, looking at Louis-Dreyfus over their cappuccinos at Santa Monica's Ivy at the Shore. "Oh, and the sex has ended...
Grief cycled through their neighborhood on the south shore of Staten Island, an enclave of starter homes colonized several decades ago by fire fighters and policemen. Mike and his three siblings grew up there, and he never left.

Indeed, Karzai's political version includes drawing repentant moderate Taliban leaders into a future political arrangement.

Karzai pointedly told the BBC he had not discussed Mullah Omar's fate with Washington, insisting "this is an Afghan question...
