...said spokesman Mike McCurry. In private, others admitted that many of the normal keepers of the President's image were so wrapped up in the bedclothes that they had no extra reserves of vigilance for a foreign-policy event at which Clinton wasn't speaking. "It was an island unto itself--the normal White House team wasn't involved," said an adviser. "In fact, there was no real level of awareness on our part until last Sunday of what they were planning to do. It wasn't the right moment for a town-hall forum. And the participants weren...
...been ruling Afghanistan since its fanatical fighters stormed into the capital of Kabul a year ago. Here the young, often illiterate "students," who developed their extremist interpretation of Islam in the refugee camps of Pakistan during the 1979-89 war against the Soviet occupation, are a law unto themselves.

With his new album YES!!, perky indie-pop superstar-in-his-own-mind Chris Knox comes up with creative, energetic ways to explore mediocrity as an art form unto itself.

In the course of "looking back" through the lens of Timequake, he covers...
What's more remarkable, all this is only a small part of an Allen A.M.E. antipoverty empire that sprawls across a 26-block stretch of southeastern Queens. To stroll the neighborhood is to see how much can be done when Caesar begins to render unto the church. Allen A.M.E. has used federal funds to provide the community's elderly with 300 subsidized apartments in the Allen Senior Citizens Housing Complex, along with meals and recreational activities. It has transformed abandoned city-owned lots and state mortgage subsidies into 50 affordable suburban-style two-family homes. Down the street from...
