...nights in an unheated jail cell the size of three tatami mats. On Jan. 23, a week after investigators from the Tokyo District Court Public Prosecutor's Office raided the headquarters of Livedoor, the Internet company Horie founded a decade ago, he and three other executives were arrested on suspicion of securities fraud. The 33-year-old tycoon has since resigned as CEO, leaving his company in disarray, its stock down 80% since the raid. The question now: Will the rough-and-tumble style of capitalism that Horie pioneered be another, more far-reaching casualty of this debacle...

Since 2002, the FBI has engineered...
SAEB EREKAT Palestinian chief peace negotiator: Sharon was very candid, very blunt and sometimes absolutely undiplomatic in his suspicion of?and frustration with?Palestinians and Arabs. He did not believe in negotiations, and he did not believe that we were ready as Palestinians for the end of the conflict. He suspended all contacts and negotiations; he did not consider us as partners. Now that he is gone, we have major concerns. First, regarding the Palestinian elections scheduled for this month: we hope that the situation and confusion in Israel will not prevent them from taking place, especially in East Jerusalem...
