...restaurateurs are expected to join the boycott of U.S. products. So the enterprising paper asked the Hindu nationalist Shiv Sena party, which has previously organized similar boycotts to protest globalization's onslaught on Indian culture, whether the party would be joining. The boycott makes no sense, sniffed the party spokesmen. Of course it doesn't - Shiv Sena is part of a Hindu-nationalist led government supporting the U.S. campaign in Afghanistan...
...There's a frenzied desperation among us for stories. When the first convoy reached Jalalabad, two smart-alecky Afghan kids came up to the group. They spoke decent English, and they went around to journalists pretending to be spokesmen for the local chapter of bin Laden's terrorist network, Al-Qaeda.

They're likely to play for time, and try and fudge the issue, and it wouldn?t be surprising to hear Taliban spokesmen in the very near future proclaiming that Bin Laden has left Afghanistan, regardless of his actual whereabouts...
...gave you "The Best," but predictably some of you weren't satisfied, particularly self-selected spokesmen for sectors seen as slighted. An M.I.T. scientist chided us for overlooking physics-related fields other than astrophysics. Labeling the series "ludicrous," a Ph.D. in Boca Raton, Fla., bewailed the absence of a computer scientist. "Are not computers one of the most important developments ever?" A frustrated engineer fumed, "I find the promotion of those who use technology created by engineers and physicists and who take all the credit very disappointing. Without those thousands of engineers developing the technologies that the medical and biological...
