...Iraq and by Israeli military actions against the Palestinian uprising - provides Bin Laden with a growing pool of potential recruits, often highly educated and skilled young men who are willing to die for his cause. And the passions on the street also make it more difficult for even pro-U.S. governments in the Arab world to be seen to be working too closely with Washington...
...efface the self you've worked hard to assemble over the years and you feel a new you emerge, a nicer you, calmer, cooler, easier-going. The you you really are and not the guy you constructed at the U and from Gary Cooper movies and tailored to the needs of Hubbard, Buttrick, Bickford & Barnes and re-tuned in therapy with Dr. Koren.

But it had agreed in January to raise its stake to 85% of Sabena, which posted losses last year of $307 million. Now Swissair is freed from that obligation, though it will contribute $227 million or 60% of a cash injection...
...received an e-mail the other day that gave me a moment's pause. "Hey cutie, How are you??" it began. "I'm sooo sorry about last night, click here for a SUPRISE to make u feel better." I was suspicious for three reasons: my girlfriend never misspells like that, we had not had a row the previous night, and I was pretty sure she had not suddenly acquired an Australian e-mail address. At least one part of the message was accurate: if she ever pointed me to a website as randy as that one, I'd be very...
