...that the case? At first sight, Bush's doctrine of pre-emptive attack seems frightening. True, Administration officials have said that pre-emption can take nonmilitary forms. But it still seems as if the U.S. has arrogated to itself the right to go to war whenever it sniffs danger from a regime it doesn't like. And Bush's speech seems inconsistent both with the very narrow Caroline principle and with Article 51 of the United Nations charter, which allows self-defense only "if an armed attack occurs" (not "is likely to occur") against a nation.

Road trippers such as Salomon who follow their favorite major or minor league baseball team--or just enjoy the color and variety of new destinations and stadiums--are becoming a more frequent sight at games across the country. The number of people 50 or older who go stadium hopping is growing 10% to 20% a year, says Jeff Wills, vice president of marketing for Roadtrips Inc., a sports-travel company based in Winnipeg, Man.

Much of his information has been pulled together - well - from personal interviews and a wealth of published material. History has been hiding in plain sight. This is strikingly seen, for example, in Beckett's enterprising visit to Rolls-Royce workers in Scotland who, just days after Pinochet and his fellow military chiefs seized power in 1973, had refused to service the engines of eight British-made Hawker Hunter fighter jets like those used to attack...
...short drive from the Pinnacles is the delightfully named Hangover Bay. Locals from Cervantes swear that the bay's stunning white sands and turquoise waters are a surefire antidote to the excesses of late-night revelry. Visitors may also be rewarded with the sight of bottlenosed dolphins and the occasional sea lion frolicking in the shallows...
