...warily, worried that he would abandon their hard-line tactics in favor of diplomatic dealmaking. When he did, by striking a bargain with former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, the Palestinian hard-liners hit out immediately, with the car bomb. It left the Middle East with a deceptively simple question: Would this attempt at a cease-fire, the fourth in five weeks, hold?

When he was called for jury duty in 1996, Bush did not answer a question on a juror questionnaire about whether he had been involved in a previous criminal case.

...aviary needs government approval and has not been without its critics, who question the initial $222,000 price tag and annual $44,000 maintenance cost. "We have to consider what is doctrinally right for the religion," says KHOJESTE MISTREE, an Oxford-educated Zoroastrian scholar and prime mover behind what could be India's first captive vulture-breeding center. "It may seem perfectly normal for some people to bury a body in the ground. To me it is repulsive that worms are eating a body for as long as 60 years...
