...drew a line during the primaries for Bush and Gore," said ADL national director Abe Foxman, who penned another warning to Joe Lieberman Monday after the Democrat's weekend speech at a Detroit church. "And we now think Senator Lieberman crossed...
Johnson says he's "pretty much full blast" again after the injury and plans to compete three times before the Games. What returned this 32-year-old so quickly to fine fettle?

Propped up only by meager support in Israel's parliament, and with Orthodox sentiment set firmly against him, the beleaguered PM has apparently decided things can't get much worse. So on Sunday, Barak informed supporters of his plans to push "civil reforms" through the legislature, a move that caught many of his closest confidants off-guard.
