...Boeing 767, was trying to light a fuse protruding from his shoe, witnesses say. According to the FBI, packed in the sole were enough high explosives to blow a hole in the fuselage of the aircraft. But the attempted bombing was foiled. Two flight attendants struggled with the tall, unkempt man after one of them noticed the sulfurous smell of a lighted match. Danison remembers one of the attendants crying, "Oh, my God! Somebody help me!" and then calling for "water, contact solution, anything you have." Passengers passed cups and glasses back to the scene. One of the attendants poured...
That might be a tall order for the Crimson, though, who has swept a Princeton-Yale weekend on the road only once since the 1993-94 season. Harvard owns the head-to-head tiebreaker with Dartmouth, but Clarkson has had the Crimson’s number this season, taking three of four possible points.

But if this Predator attack was like dozens of others in Afghanistan, it was a surgical strike on a terrorist target--and a case study in the new American way of waging war: killing foes by remote control, with no risk to U.S. troops, through an extraordinary...
...official artistic director of the government-sponsored Shanghai Song and Dance Ensemble, is rehearsing at a practice hall in the outer suburbs of Shanghai. The turquoise linoleum floor is cracked and chipped. Strips of white cloth bandage the warped practice bar that rings the room. And two 2-m-tall heaters by a glass wall barely keep the dancers warm between routines. Now it's Huang's turn to perform. Quickly marking the moves with three other male dancers, he turns on the music and jogs into formation. The pounding of drums begins and the quiet, demanding director in mismatched...
