For there will be many fish in the sea, but only one chance at Harvard Law School. And there will be myriad chances to fall in love, but only one opportunity to break into the trading floors of the Asian market...
There are of course other--easier--ways to clean out the "roaches," and for these the U.S. grasped last week. The simplest scenario would be if the Taliban agreed to hand over bin Laden.

MGM expanded the comedy Legally Blonde onto 1,300 screens after movie houses began pleading for feel-good...
...listen in on his every cell phone conversation. That is, of course, if they know where he is. (And the Saudi terrorist-financier long ago figured out that his cell phone wasn't secure.) The point is that the most sophisticated intelligence technology is useless unless some of the simplest information is available...
