...these reasons, and perhaps because of institutional pessimism, Israeli military officials expect fighting to resume. "It's not a matter of if. It's a matter of when," says a senior intelligence officer. Residents of northern Israel are petrified by the prospect. With Hizballah now right against the border, its fighters can easily fire into Israeli towns. Border infiltrations are another risk. Emblazoned in the collective memory of Misgav Am, a kibbutz that juts like a polyp into Lebanese territory, is the night in 1980 when Palestinian terrorists slipped across the border and took over the communal dormitory where local...
...today's version of bubblegum. "The consolidation of all the different record companies under big multinational parent companies," he says, has spawned the current crush of mass-produced teen pop acts.

Bill Bradley, in his laconic way, would have had a field day with this one. In a new study of worldwide "healthy life expectancy" rates released Sunday, the World Health Organization said the U.S. ranked 24th, despite spending more on health per capita than any other nation. The United States "stands out as not doing as well as they should be," Chris Murray, director of the U.N. agency's global program on evidence for health policy, told the Associated Press. The culprit? Just what you'd expect from in a country that eschews socialized medicine: Its health care...
