...beautifully refined show with a quartet of "cloud" dresses - from nimbus to cumulus to cyclone - all in washed and dyed silk that was literally gathered and draped to look like a cloud bursting off a model's shoulder on top of a long gown or swirling around her torso in the case of a strapless shift. It was a touch of showbiz to top off a collection that was easily the designer's best. Drawing on the simple fabrics, shapes, and nature-inspired color palette of America's early settlers, Posen showed crisp poplin dresses, blouses and vests that would...

One had taken bullets in both legs and his right hand, and at some point the kidnappers had torn open his body armor and fired bullets into his chest and torso.

...appearance in the governor's mansion in Kandahar under a pink sheet, a wound on his head and his naked torso bloodied by two injuries, certainly dealt a psychological blow to the Taliban, for whom Dadullah has emerged as a powerful propaganda rallying point. His persona was used to recruit new fighters by the Taliban, with leaflets distributed only last week in Zabul province urging former mujahedin who had fought the Soviets in the 1980s to rally behind him. After losing a leg as a young mujaheed in the anti-Soviet jihad, Dadullah rose through the ranks of the Taliban...
