...train carriage near Ahmadabad, killing 58 Hindus. In the aftermath, nearly a thousand Muslims have been killed in reprisals that fail to simmer down. Qadiri's parents are spending a fortune trying to keep in touch with their son by phone, hoping he won't be the next victim. Qadiri had the luck of the Kashmiris: he found the only other place on the subcontinent as dangerous as his own hometown...
...wing Israelis remaining, I cannot say I approve entirely of Israel's actions in the occupied territories. But I believe any Israeli reading your report on suicide bombers can't help but be outraged. Splashing photos of dead terrorists across TIME's pages, without one sympathetic photo of a victim, without condemnation, makes the Palestinians indeed look like martyrs--victims who sacrificed themselves for a noble cause.

Courts had not yet approved the deal, which would have awarded 86 victims up to $300,000 each. This marked the first time the archdiocese's finance council had gone against the professed wishes of Bernard Cardinal Law. Even if the plaintiffs go on to sue and win in civil court, Massachusetts law restricts the maximum payout from a nonprofit organization to $20,000 per victim. If the archdiocese...
...none of the Crimson players found more satisfaction Saturday than Nyweide. In 2001, he was the quintessential victim of lack of run support, going winless through his first four decisions despite boasting the staff’s best ERA. In his final outing of the year, one first-pitch changeup to Dartmouth’s Brian Nickerson cost him a victory he absolutely deserved...
