And if the U.S. decides that it cannot let the ensuing vacuum swallow the nation it boasted of liberating, it may have to let the Pentagon drop the increasingly arti ficial-looking distinction between missions against the designated enemy and missions in support of the designated ally...

Studies from Japan show that consuming 10 cups a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. If that much tea seems hard to swallow, consider using it is a mouthwash; reports suggest that swishing green tea around the mouth may inhibit cavity-causing bacteria. Applied to the skin of laboratory mice, it also seems to reduce the incidence of skin cancer. What about black tea? Made from the same leaves as green, though processed...
