...unclear why the kidnappers targeted Waddah. The U.S. official familiar with kidnapping gangs in Iraq speculates that the arrival of a new family in a wealthy neighborhood may have alerted local criminals. "Typically the kidnappers would do some homework, tracking the movements of the family, deciding on whom to grab and when," he says. Waddah believes it was an opportunity snatch: the kidnappers happened to be cruising the street and, when they saw him get out of a brand-new car, assumed he was rich. Later, during interrogations by his captors, the Chevrolet Lumina would come up again and again...

Turning activities into homework does not make them more instructive. Rather, a formal process will in all likelihood foster a negative attitude in students who feel obliged to participate, and such an attitude would be detrimental to students and to organizations alike.Under some suggested proposals, the projects would be optional. Even with this provision...
...forensicism with the supposedly colorful antics of a suite of journalistic clich?s, played by a misused cast of fine actors (Bebe Neuwirth, Lili Taylor, Hope Davis), and neither element works here. Some have suggested the producers, who consulted New York journalists in developing the series, could have done their homework better. I say they probably did it too well. No one is more likely to draw you a corny, clich?d picture of the journalism biz than journalists themselves, especially when being flattered with the attentions of a Hollywood big-shot producer.
