...Embassy's strict security precautions are the legacy of hard lessons. In 1976, Palestinian gunmen kidnapped and killed Francis Meloy, a newly arrived U.S. ambassador, before he could even present his credentials. Seven years later, nearly 300 Americans were killed in suicide truck bomb strikes against the embassy and the U.S. Marine barracks near Beirut airport. The U.S. blames the militant Shi'ite Hizballah for those attacks, as well as for the kidnappings of dozens of foreigners during the 1980s - charges the Lebanese group has always denied.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working on plans to eradicate the rats on Rat Island without harming the few native species that have survived the onslaught...
...immigrant from Bulgaria, but I found Klein's article disturbing. Why does he make it seem that the growing anger over illegal immigrants comes from racist rednecks? If a candidate comes up with a plan for strict control of immigration, he or she will be patriotic, not racist, and might get elected. I hate to watch this great country turn from a welcoming nation to a naive one. Yordan Yordanov, WEST YARMOUTH, MASS...
