...this critical period between war and peace, U.S. politicians have almost unanimously espoused war, without giving a thought to peace. No one seems concerned that this war will unfold in Iraq's cities, airports and streets, and that its primary targets will be civilians. Yet the road to peace has been clearly outlined. All it would take is goodwill, impartiality and good-faith negotiations. TED KRAMER Fort Collins, Colo...
Potterites spend time speculating in detail about what events will unfold in books five, six and seven, and struggle over Harry’s family tree to link him to the evil, unshakable Voldemort. (“Maybe Voldemort’s third cousin was Harry’s aunt.”) They are slightly unhinged by Harry, and they know...
Radical reversals become literal with the other kind of book that Shiga produces: Choose Your Own Adventure. The first of these, 2001's "The Last Supper," had the user unfold a sheet in different directions depending on what choices he wanted to make, starting with whether to eat a brussel sprout or not.

The gnocchi2 are feather-light, without any of the gumminess that often weighs them down under less skillful hands. This is a decadent dish—layers of flavor unfold with each bite.

Even as the shooter--or shooters--taunted investigators by picking off more victims last week, authorities unleashed an unprecedented arsenal of tools to crack the case: geographic-profiling computers to try to pinpoint the killer's home, ballistics databases intended to link his unique bullet markings to other crimes and trace-substance technology to lift whatever clues (fingerprints, DNA) might adhere to a shell casing...
