...There is no particular reason such a taboo should persist. It’s true that jogging naked is not the most comfortable enterprise for a woman, but it’s hardly as if men relish exposing their own delicate parts to the perilous January air. Yet for women, taking part is seen as either an outspoken statement of liberation or as providing a special opportunity for voyeurs to gape at bare female anatomy. By contrast, for men, it’s just a bit of a laugh...

They say Rice only wants to show Arab moderates-whom the U.S. needs to help repair the chaos in Iraq-that the Bush Administration is keen to make headway on the Israeli-Palestinian impasse. U.S. officials told Abbas's team that it is unlikely President George W. Bush would attend the summit himself. At the summit, scheduled for next month in an as yet undisclosed location, Rice would represent the U.S. side, and the two other participants would be Israeli Prime...
