...Iran between October 2000 and February 2001 that the 9/11 commission uncovered [July 26] is not news to everyone. Thanks to Iran's vast oil revenues, the Iranian mullahs are able to finance Islamist terrorists worldwide. Iran is, in fact, the mother of modern Islamist terrorism, with its truck bombings, suicide attacks, political-hostage taking and international assassinations.

Misusing the funds that belong to the Iranian people, the hard-liners in Tehran are waging...

...Booth followed the advice, ingesting more new food, culture and adventure in those three years than most people manage in a lifetime. He eventually returned to Britain, supported himself as a truck driver, legal clerk, wine steward, English teacher and, only after he turned 40, a writer. But that boyhood hunger for discovery would help shape 13 novels, six books of children's fiction and 10 nonfiction works of history, biography, criticism and reportage. Add his mountain of articles, television scripts and poems, plus the 400 books by other poets (including Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney) that...
