...could not be breached by the other. For the Vice President--who had been told that this "hockey crease," as it was described to his amusement, had been requested by the Bush camp--the make-believe security zone was an invitation to rattle and challenge his opponent. Like a boy playing red light--green light, Gore encroached. "I thought he was going to hit George," Barbara Bush said the next morning. The ploy, along with Gore's purposeful stride around the stage, was about more than intimidation; it was meant to show that Gore, who constantly vows to "fight...
This morning I was really surprised when my nine-year-old son Mohammed began a determined entry into Palestinian-Israeli politics: he asked me why the father of Mohammed al-Durra, the 12-year-old boy killed in Gaza, could not protect his son from the Israeli bullets.

Among the discoveries: the men may have had as many as five safe houses. Yemen's President has implied a link between the suspects and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, a group closely tied...
Dehn Gilmore '02 points to a color photo of a slightly scruffy boy squinting towards the camera. "He generally looks irritated that I'm taking his picture, so his irritation makes him a good subject," reflects Gilmore about the series of color photos she took of her younger brother, Tom, who is shown sitting sleepily at the kitchen table in a rumpled, faded blue oxford shirt. The coloring isn't vibrant, but its restrained subtlety, combined with the appealing use of subdued sunlight and shadow, makes the picture pleasing. "I think that awkwardness tends to work well.
