...least 39 people were dead and 134 injured. Wreckage and human remains were spread along 50 meters of the tunnel. "We're taking out the dead, or what's left of them," said a rescue worker. "You don't want to know what happened to them." The death toll was expected to rise, but could have been even higher but for the heroics of the train's driver, Vladimir Gorelov, who slammed on the brakes and contacted engineers to shut the power off so that people could get out of the train without risking electrocution. Some 500 people escaped. Despite...
...same in Washington, he has yet to explain how he would pull it off, particularly if faced with a Republican Congress. Kerry long ago made his resume his running mate, but his legislative accomplishments are not plentiful, and his experience in the Senate has taken a toll on his persona. Where Dean denounces the ways of Washington, Kerry honors them; he dwells on the commissions he has chaired and the bills he has sponsored as his way of explaining what values he holds and what skills he brings.

Three G.I.s were killed by a roadside bomb north of Baghdad last Saturday, raising the war's U.S. death toll to 500; a suicide bombing on Sunday targeted coalition headquarters in Baghdad, killing two Americans and at least 18 Iraqis. U.S. officials in Iraq fear that assaults are increasingly being directed by jihadists who are leading cells that employ ex-Iraqi soldiers, homegrown Muslim militants and foreign volunteers. An Iraqi with close ties...
...moisturize often grab whatever is in the bathroom cabinet--even if it belongs to their wives. "Men are huge cadgers," says L'Oreal CEO Lindsay Owen-Jones. "They don't buy too much stuff for themselves." Owen-Jones loves to sail--a pastime that takes its toll on the complexion. So which moisturizer does he use? Er, two, actually--one from Lancome's Homme line and one from Vichy's Thermal S2 range (both L'Oreal brands, of course). "It's typical," he says. "One is a woman's product...
