...military concluded its own closed investigation into the event two weeks ago but released its findings only late on Sunday, July 27. It read in part, "While [American soldiers were] working on the vehicle, a civilian vehicle approached the rear of the convoy at what appeared to the soldiers to be a high rate of speed despite several obstructions in the road. Soldiers located at the rear of the convoy perceived the rapidly approaching vehicle as a threat and executed established escalation of force measures. When the vehicle failed to respond to the soldiers' warning measures, it was engaged with...
...first five seasons or so artfully explored all crevasses of paranormal fiction - psy-fi - could have had Bush and Hoover as its patron saints, its Janus heads. They expressed the show's continuing, contradictory catchphrases: "I Want to Believe" and "Trust No One." Each Sunday night at nine, the series would juggle the concepts of blind faith (the need to find meaning and pattern in the random events of the universe) and paranoia (which, as any neurotic would tell you, is just common sense accompanied by theremin music).

By waving his middle finger Sunday while barking out a verse of Il Canto degli Italiani, Italy's Reforms Minister Umberto Bossi raised real questions about the long-term viability of Silvio Berlusconi's center-right ruling coalition...
...appearance with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. (Don't call him Sir Bob, please. Because he is not British, he'll just be Mr. Geldof, Boomtown Rat, K.B.E.) But at almost every concert the fans belonged to U2, as Bono and The Edge ripped out New Year's Day and Sunday, Bloody Sunday. The girls threw lingerie, the guys waved Irish flags, and everybody screamed wildly when Bono lifted girls onstage, hugged them and left them in puddles of tears. The politics took a quieter tack. A slick ten-minute film delivered Amnesty's message, and the musicians talked about their...
