...complaints over Israeli behavior. First up: Israel's effort to limit the terms of a U.N. fact-finding mission established to investigate the recent battle at Jenin. Israel is holding off for fear that it is being set up for prosecution or a smear campaign. But European Union commissioner Romano Prodi says he'll use Sunday's Washington summit to press President Bush to "use his influence" to persuade Israel to back down on its "unacceptable" response to a U.N. Security Council resolution backed by the U.S. Even stronger language came from Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak, who warned...
...Commission plans. "This is a death sentence for our fishing industry," says Daniel Varela Suanzes-Carpegna, a Spanish conservative and member of the European Parliament.

More chili oil or some other kick would be a welcome addition to the mellow fontina and sweet onions, but this was nice comfort food for a hard day. The grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, mozzarella, romano (their best seller at $8 or $15) was a bigger hit. A healthy dash of chive oil finishes it off and really helps bring together the sizable chunks of chicken breast, well-roasted red peppers and sea of melted cheese...
...stands 6 ft. 7 in. and plays football--not the kind of guy you would expect to find watching cartoons on a Saturday afternoon. Yet on the weekend of March 15, Pond went to see Ice Age, a $60 million animated comedy in which a deadpan woolly mammoth (Ray Romano), a goofy sloth (John Leguizamo) and a duplicitous tiger (Denis Leary) go on an odyssey to reunite a human baby with its father. "The whole movie was a trip to me," says Pond, who especially liked the part where the sloth's tongue gets stuck...
