...Sharon needs to show Israelis that he's hitting back at the Palestinians, after the assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi two weeks ago by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. But truly cutting the power of the Palestinian militias would require putting special units in harm's way. So far, Sharon has been reluctant to risk casualties, preferring to keep his men largely encased in armor. In any case, he's conducting a military campaign with an eye on Washington and his own dovish Foreign Minister Shimon Peres...
...Bethlehem and fought gunbattles with Palestinian militiamen. Instead, it was small undercover units that made a series of successful snatches. Sources in the Shin Bet domestic intelligence service tell Time that officers from the Jerusalem police's "Gidonim" undercover unit nabbed Mahmed Rimawi, one of the gang that killed Ze'evi, from a hideout in the hostile Kalandia refugee camp. Another undercover team found a second member of the hit squad, Salah Alawi, hiding under a car outside his house in Azzariyeh, on the edge of Jerusalem. And in the West Bank village of Doura, the "Yamas Ayosh" undercover unit...
...larger force, it doesn't look so good from Washington's viewpoint. In fact, it looks little different from the big operations in the major Palestinian towns. Israel sent tanks and troops to the village of Beit Rima, north of Ramallah, last week, because it believed one of Ze'evi's killers may have taken refuge with his relatives there.

But an angry Secretary of State...

Wang Ze, a 52-year-old consultant for frozen-foods companies, became a Tibetan-style Buddhist four years ago after meditating to the Tibetan mantra for compassion, om mani peme hum (which Dadawa later turned into a pop song). He and his wife converted one of their four rooms into a shrine. At the time, they didn't know anyone else who practiced. Recently, he says, "we hosted an initiation ceremony for 17 Chinese." A senior lama...
...town to cover the Rock in Rio Festival, a two-weekend-long extravaganza (January 12-14, January 18-21) featuring a wide array of international acts (Beck, Sting, Papa Roach, Dave Matthews Band, Britney Spears) as well as Brazilian acts (Gilberto Gil, Daniela Mercury, Carlinhos Brown, Tom Ze, Nacao Zumbi). The organizers have billed it as one of the largest concerts in history, with five stages, more than 150 acts scheduled and more than one million attendees expected. One report boasted that the megaconcert would be "roughly the equivalent of five Woodstocks." I just hoped that meant they weren...
