...street with his lights off. Witnesses describe an altercation after Cook resisted Faulkner. Abu-Jamal, who was driving a cab and happened upon the scene, traded gunfire with Faulkner. When police arrived, Abu-Jamal was on the pavement with a bullet in his chest, his shoulder holster empty. A gun registered to him was a few feet away, with five empty chambers.

The table has five straps on the gurney--two leg manacles, two wristbands and one chest belt--making a horizontal cross, the only thing in Angola that isn't pointing toward either heaven or hell...
...Israeli leader still believes he could sell a final deal to his voters over the heads of their elected representatives in a referendum, but he's going into the summit looking over his right shoulder, and that bodes ill for the prospects of actually achieving an agreement. Because although the ailing septuagenarian Yasser Arafat may be the effective president-for-life of the Palestinians, concern over his own legacy - particularly the fear of being remembered as a traitor rather than a savior - has him going to Washington looking over his left shoulder. He even invited members of two left-wing...
