...Senate in New Jersey. His contest against Democrat Robert Menendez, who was appointed to this seat earlier this year after Jon Corzine left the Senate to become governor, has become one of the most competitive and crucial Senate races in the country - and at times one its ugliest...
...Jennings' brainiac (Villard; 269 pages) were a Daily Double on Jeopardy! you would want to bet cautiously. Not only does it have the ugliest cover of any book published so far this year (for what it's worth, the most beautiful is Bruce Wagner's Memorial), but also it is by Ken Jennings--you know, the Mormon computer-programmer celebrinerd who, beginning in 2004, rattled off a record-breaking 74-game Jeopardy! winning streak. Good enough for $2.5 million and 15 minutes of syndicated fame, but a book deal seems like a stretch...
...Harvard has not been a stranger to some of the ugliest fallout of the war on terror, as we lose liberties and gain bigotry.

There's even a mobile phone - the Helio Hero - offering one-button access to MySpace so you can view pages and respond to friends on the go. Think MySpace is too "young" for you? New social...
...seen in the record of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines. Late last year, U.S. commanders tried to hold Haditha, a town of 90,000 riddled with insurgents, at times with just one company of 160 men. The job fell to Kilo, which had already seen some of the ugliest fighting in the postinvasion period. According to Lucian Read--a freelance photographer who has spent 13 months in Iraq, five of them with Kilo Company--Kilo had drawn a short stick in the battle for Fallujah in 2004, enduring days of street-to-street and sometimes house-to-house fighting...
