Given his disregard for appearances, the Israeli leader was not especially bothered by the undecorous images produced last week by Israel's hastier-than-planned withdrawal from southern Lebanon. HUMILIATION! cried a newspaper as the retreating Israeli army blew up its outposts and let weapons and ammunition slip into the hands of the Lebanese militia Hizballah. In the midst of the muddle, Barak was a picture of equanimity. Addressing reporters after the pullout, he appeared buoyant. "I like criticism," he said, as he flashed a bit of his trademark thin-lipped smile. "It keeps our adrenaline...
...Chemical Brothers were supposed to lead the charge. They sold well, but few like-minded acts shared their success. This year it's Moby, and perhaps acts like Alice Deejay and others will follow.

...classic Barry mode, not even charging them a reasonable fee to repair the damage. And there's the unsettling fact that after a decade of declines in the homicide rate, we've had 86 killings in the first 116 days of this year. At that accelerated pace, we could slip back to the Barry-like days when D.C. was known as the murder capital of the nation. The word is that Barry is plotting a return to city hall, perhaps by running for an at-large position on the city council in the next election. Why does he need...
