After 1954, whenever I heard the pledge recited (in the ritual stream-of-consciousness way that one says, "ThirtydayshathSeptemberAprilJuneandNovembe ralltheresthavethirtyone"), it sounded somehow tampered with and wrong. The original version had been grooved into my brain. I mistrusted the addition of under God first of all on unconscious aesthetic grounds. The new phrase, set off by tendentious commas, was a hiccup in the flow of the drone, the mumbled civic music, the school kids' om. Even as a callow youth, I sensed that someone had intruded an alien and politicized bromide into the pledge. Again, the adjacent word indivisible banged...
...from four continents have converged--among them Bertelsmann, Liberty Media, News Corp. and Sony--to pick at the carcass. In Italy, where stealing satellite service is pursued with the same ingenuity and gusto as is tax avoidance, two competing pay-TV services, Vivendi's Telepiu and News Corp.'s Stream, have fared so poorly that they have had little choice but to combine their 2.3 million subscribers.

...punished. You need to fear for your life," says one caller. Newdow nods, puts down the ice cream and picks up his guitar. "Mike, this is God. I?m really upset with you," says the tape. Newdow strums Paul McCartney's "Blackbird," a strange soundtrack to the steady stream of abuse. "I bet you?ve said it, Mike. I bet you've said "my God,?" suggests an exasperated male voice. "Actually," Newdow tells the tape quietly, "what I say is ?your...
Like echoes that will not be quieted, scenes from a war that ended nearly 30 years ago are now being replayed at the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina. Clutching white plastic bags of travel documents, bleary-eyed Montagnard refugees from the Central Highlands of Vietnam stream down the arrival-lounge escalator to be met by white-haired American ladies wearing housedresses and blowsy men waving American flags. Joyful members of North Carolina's 3,000-strong Montagnard community are on hand, as are relief workers from Lutheran Family Services who bustle about, counting heads and arranging transportation that will ferry...
