...vote goes ahead. For the same reason, the younger generation of Fatah leaders, grouped around the imprisoned West Bank leader Marwan Barghouti, want the election held on schedule, as do the other Palestinian groups. Hamas wants to use the election to make a show of its political strength-they want to share power with Fatah and use that position to clean up the Palestinian house, fighting corruption. This is the reason Fatah is scared to death of Hamas: The people on the street who will vote for Hamas don't necessarily support its political program and an Islamic state...
...Skilled and hourly listings are growing. Barbara Ehrenreich wrote in Nickel and Dimed that after working two jobs, she didn't have the strength to look for another.

Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Islamabad, has noted his "concern" over the renewed strength of the jihadi groups, which may now find it easier to attract recruits and to wield political influence among ordinary Kashmiris. Still, the militants worry about another crackdown by Musharraf. As Lashkar-e-Toiba spokesman Yahya Mujahid told TIME, "We fear the government will toe the American line and curb...
...just because of King's death but because it seems as though he was being marginalized-everything was being heaped on him. The FBI is getting uglier with its dirty tricks, his most loyal lieutenants are scrabbling and pulling back. Do you think he would have recovered his strength, his force, because here he seems besieged from all sides...
