Even under the best circumstances, Cipro is not an easy pill to swallow. Dairy products interfere with the drug's absorption, so you need to wait at least two hours before drinking milk or eating yogurt or cheese. Cipro also increases sensitivity to the sun, so to avoid a rash, you need to cover exposed skin when going outdoors...
TIME journalists generally try to avoid becoming part of the story, but last week correspondent Tim McGirk very nearly became a hostage of angry Afghan refugees in an ugly showdown along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. "They might've done it," writes McGirk. "They had nothing left to lose. No money. No country. Not much hope." Read McGirk's weekly war diary at time.com/mcgirk/...
Recession winners do, however, share some common traits, from good labor relations to contingency plans. Smart CEOs avoid across-the-board layoffs, instead making careful cuts that don't deplete their talent pool.

The only way for the U.S. to counter such claims may be to slow the aerial campaign and avoid borderline targets altogether. The U.S. destroys about 1% of an enemy force for each day of bombing; by that yardstick, there remain many Taliban targets to hit--if the pilots can find them. But the targets' mobility, invisibility and dwindling numbers mean they can't be destroyed at once...
