While that cuts against any attempts by the Islamists to capitalize on government weakness in handling the quake, it also makes it extremely risky to stamp out Islamic quake relief efforts at a time when population is angry at the state?s own failings...
...women's final on Saturday had a look that observers of the men's game found familiar: a taut, defensive contest that tightens leg muscles, turns feet into anchors and transforms a 116-yd. by 72-yd. field into a postage stamp.

Yet biographical trauma, even when packed with celebrities, cannot account for Marilyn's enduring stature as a goddess and postage stamp. Jacqueline Onassis will be remembered for her timeline, for her participation in events and marriages that mesmerized the planet. Marilyn seems far less factual, more Cinderella or Circe than mortal. There have been other megablonds of varying skills, a pinup parade of Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard, Jayne Mansfield, Mamie...
