Last Monday the Governor received an honorary degree at Grinnell College in Iowa, the state where the first presidential caucuses will be held next February. At a press conference afterward, Cuomo told reporters that his candidacy was a "fantasy." "Listen to me," he said. "Don't listen to the polls." Yet the non-candidate was less than categorical: he would not rule out the possibility of entering a primary...
...journalism degree from the University of Illinois, went to work for the Sun-Times at age 24 and landed the movie-reviewing spot a year later. Siskel, 41, majored in philosophy at Yale, became a reporter for the Tribune at 23 and the paper's film critic soon afterward.

Hoja Inatullah, 19, says he nearly died of asphyxiation, surviving only by wetting his blanket and breathing through it. "For four or five hours afterward, I had trouble breathing," he says. "My friends carried me to the bomb shelter, and I lay there spitting up black fluid." In such a conflict, justice can be harsh for captured invaders.
