...soon. (Two of Amrozi's younger brothers?he has 13 siblings?are being sought by police on suspicion of involvement in buying the chemicals used in the bomb.)

"I think the danger is that once the Indonesians find a few scapegoats, they could go back to their old ways again pretty quickly," says Zachary Abuza, author...

Bach in a plaid shirt standing in a cornfield next to a signpost listing the distances to Tucson, Ariz.; Leipzig, Germany; and Bloomington. The 14 concerts of medieval, Renaissance, baroque and classical music include works performed by adults on period instruments as well as a recital by elementary school students making a "joyful noyse" on recorders. Such whimsy has made a convert of Mia Dalglish, 16, a student at Bloomington High School South. "Early music can be stiff and boring--or the most beautiful music in the world...
