...stand trial before an international tribunal even before receiving official confirmation of his capture. The United States has already asked Canada to request the extradition of Pol Pot under a Canadian law against genocide, The New York Times reported today, and has offered to provide a military escort to transport Pol Pot out of Cambodia. Under the plan, which Canada has yet to accept, the 69-year-old guerrilla leader would be held in Canada until a United Nations tribunal, similar to the one investigating Bosnian war crimes, could try him for international crimes against humanity. While Cambodia's coalition...
...Xers struggle with ambiguous battles over affirmative action, where helping blacks and Hispanics arguably hurts Asians and whites. Xer activism is a chain Internet letter calling on friends to "Save Sesame Street" by E-mailing Congress about public-television funding. Or it is donating a few hours to transport meals to aids patients. Independent Sector, a Washington-based research group, found that 38% of 18-to-24-year-olds volunteered within the past year, along with more than half the 25-to-33-year-olds. Without a Vietnam War, the new generation is less polarized. "Young people today...
...thriller about a mutiny of convicted murderers aboard a transport plane, Nicolas Cage plays Cameron Poe, a bad-luck good guy on his way home from serving eight years in San Quentin on a bum rap.

Then, an hour into the film, Poe finds a villain rifling...
...Grobmyer's plan did not even get as far as other dubious proposals that landed at the White House last year: the rescue of a Chinese-American dissident from a Beijing jail (pushed by entrepreneur Johnny Chung, who gave $366,000 to the party) and the transport of natural gas across war-torn remnants of the Soviet Union (pushed by tycoon Roger Tamraz, who gave $200,000). But then again, in the strange case of the radioactive casks, no money landed in Democratic coffers...
...exhilarating rush that reinforces the desire to take drugs, at least in cocaine addicts. In all, 17 users participated in the study, says Volkow, and they experienced a high whose intensity was directly related to how extensively cocaine tied up available binding sites on the molecules that transport dopamine around the brain. To produce any high at all, she and her colleagues found, cocaine had to occupy at least 47% of these sites; the "best" results occurred when it took over 60% to 80% of the sites, effectively preventing the transporters from latching onto dopamine and spiriting...
