Most don't share Bush's obsessive conviction that he already "knows" Saddam Hussein is hiding stockpiles of illicit biological and chemical weapons and is close to obtaining a nuclear one. Of course, many Europeans suspect Saddam has dangerous stuff; they understand the arguments that he is a bad guy who may do worse things some day.

But now Wolf is launching an ambitious new brand: a remake for ABC of Dragnet (Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.), the 50-plus-year-old cop show that inspired...
...supermarkets already conspicuously absent from the Square cityscape, in the interim students looking for an alternative to dining hall fare will be forced to choose between University Market and smaller convenience “[Broadway] is the only place in the area that’s convenient for gourmet stuff and produce. I went there for stuff like Brie, special cheeses, drinks, and limes...they were really the only option,” said Pennypacker resident David F. Hill...
