This bias is reflected in the tenor of any reporting that Al-Jazeera does on the Arab-Israeli conflict and on the current war in Iraq. Pieces about the Arab-Israeli conflict often lack a serious exploration of the Israeli side of the story, although recently Al-Jazeera has started to cover official Israeli press conferences more diligently. Al-Jazeera’s coverage of Iraq is no different. Where CNN runs special reports entitled, “The Struggle for Iraq,” Al-Jazeera’s English website features reports with the slightly more succinct title...
DIED. NOBLE (THIN MAN) WATTS, 78, blues and jazz saxophonist whose booming tenor influenced music legends from King Curtis to Bruce Springsteen sideman Clarence Clemons; in Deland, Fla. In the 1950s he led the house band at boxer Sugar Ray Robinson's New York City lounge and went on rock-'n'-roll tours with Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis.

In addition to playing with most of the jazz giants of his era, he was invited by President Bill Clinton to perform a duet on the White House lawn at his first Inauguration...

Then she launched into the chorus (?I?m young and healthy / And you?ve got charms / It would really be a sin / Not to have you in my arms?), plighting her troth, really pitching it, with a tenor?s full faux fervor. Allie took the second verse (?I?m young and healthy / And so are you / When the moon is in the sky / Tell me what am I to do??), and her voice was as pure as demure as Diana?s was brassy. She held the notes like a trained...
