...cooperation between Hizballah and the Palestinian extremist group Hamas. Recently, senior Palestinian sources tell Time, Hizballah put officials from Arafat's Authority on Iran's payroll.

...terrorist attack in U.S. history. And bin Laden did more than kill people. We had just packed up and stored away the century of Hitler and Stalin--both Men of the Year in their time--which we imagined had shown us the depths to which a despot could sink.

...Pool is a game of positioning: you shoot to sink when you can and play safety when you must, and the hustle is always on. Reyes lives as he plays, staying home, safe, when he's not playing, decrying his sad slide, then going to Tokyo or Wales or Reno when there's money on the table. The last time we meet, at Nita's, he answers questions, poses for pictures, but he's clearly ready to do something else. What exactly, he doesn't know.
