...America's eyes and ears, and your good name was tarnished," says Professor Amatzia Baram of Israel's Haifa University, a leading Iraq expert.

Even as the U.S. deploys F-117 Stealth fighter-bombers to temper Saddam's erratic outbursts, the CIA must rebuild its Iraqi operation from the bottom...

Only seven percent of delegates said they would like to see Powell as the party's candidate in 2000, while...
...exercise in the imaginary, doggedly following fictional rodents-turned-superstars around the park while assiduously crushing real-live ones under your feet, making a tour of the stars' homes (er, hedges...er, right-hand corner of mailboxes) while never seeing a movie star in the flesh. To temper the illusory, conserve the monetary and heighten the enjoyability, I have prepared the following list of observations and notes (hints? tips?) about Southland attractions.
