Then came the added horror. It was not just the usual suspect, the radical Islamic group Hamas, that took responsibility for the outrage. Also claiming a part was the Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an underground militia associated with Yasser Arafat.

...STROKES Is This It (RCA) It's impossible to listen to this album without noting all the '70s punk/pop acts being ripped off left and right. It's also impossible to resist nodding your head and singing along.

...folks living through the cold war, there were few precautions to take in the event of nuclear exchange: go underground, get out of town or at least run upwind. In the years since Chernobyl and Three Mile Island--and the months since Sept. 11--the advice has got a good deal more sophisticated. The safety measure generating the most buzz lately is potassium iodide--a widely available pill that, so the stories go, can help prevent people exposed to radioactivity from developing cancer. The stories are true--up to a point...
