...probably my accent." Kenny Ison, 20, a culinary-arts major from Point Pleasant, W.Va., happily recalls how his roommate, Hatim al-Garzaie, 21, invited him to sit on a rug spread on the floor and dine with a bunch of Saudi students by digging into communal pans of rice and meat. Other nights there have been jam sessions; al-Garzaie turns off his PlayStation, plugs his oud into the amp and leads his fellow Saudis in songs from home. "Already," says Ison, "I've learned so much that I never thought I would, even at college...
...totally shocked" to be crowned "the next great American designer" by Bravo's fashion reality show Project Runway. Dao, who runs her own boutique in Houston and who wowed the judges with a line of soft, tailored evening wear, beat presumed favorite Daniel Vosovic and unofficial runway villain Santino Rice to win $100,000 for her line and a fashion spread in Elle.

So, even if the matter does get to the Security Council in the coming weeks, Iran will likely be given a new deadline to comply with a more forceful international demand...
...surprise visit, however, was in some ways inevitable. For weeks, there had been speculation that Bush would use the occasion to visit Afghanistan - a country that the president had never visited but that his wife, Laura, had, as well as Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. At some point it probably would have become embarrassing for the White House if the President were the only top-ranking official not to visit the country to which he had dispatched thousands of American troops. Eventually Bush?s absence would only have highlighted the fragile...
