Mrs. Dole-“Liddy” to her friends-has brought the same single-mindedness to her husband’s campaign. A compelling speaker with a soft Southern accent, she can rattle off the senator’s talking points more cogently than he can. But there is one challenge that will be difficult to prepare for: the inevitable comparisons with Hillary Rodham Clinton. Luke Hillary, Mrs. Dole is a deeply religious, focused Ivy League law grad (Harvard ‘65). If anything, the 59-year-old Mrs....
The Korean memorial occupies a grove beneath the Lincoln Memorial, across the Reflecting Pool from the Vietnam Wall. It’s dominated by 19 large, steel statues of infantrymen – a silent patrol moving warily up a slope. They look weary, as though they’ve been on too many patrols and climbed too many hills. That was us in Korea, the way we were, too. Off to the side there’s a granite wall with hundreds of faces etched on it, faces taken from actual photographs of men and women who served in Korea as support troops: truckdrivers, engineers, flight crewmen, nurses, chaplains, sailors....
The verdict is pronounced, and my client wins the case. The judge releases the jurors, the other attorney shoots me a resentful look as he grabs his briefcase, and the defendant mutters obscenities under his breath. Scenes like that one were once a standard part of my law practice. As a civil litigator, I handled several jury trials each year. I still have them scheduled almost every month, but I haven’t tried a case in front of a jury in more than five years....

Panteleimon and 14 fellow monks make up Eleftheroi, or “The Free,” a rock group whose two CDs have stormed the Greek charts and sold more than 150,000 copies. The monks sing catchy, classic rock songs about the dangers of materialism, technology and globalization. The video for one song, “Tsipaki,” or “Little Chip,” shows a gold-painted man implanted with a computer chip; the lyrics warn, “I am a little chip which will lead you to slavery… The Internet and information have consumed you....

What exactly caused one of the most exciting and dominating teams in the league to be reduced to a mere shadow of it’s former glory? However, before we get into that, a little history lesson is in order so that we understand why the Pistons were such a great team. The Bad Boys era (1981-1994) After struggling for decades, The Motor City dominated the league during the late 1980′s and the early 1990′s, commonly known as the bad boys era, when the team was studded with superstars like Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, and Vinnie Johnson who formed the core of their team for about a decade....
While Samsung offered reassurance that neither customer nor employee personal information had been compromised, that’s only one possible avenue for the hackers to take. The data that was taken, which the hackers’ claim includes biometric authentication algorithms and bootloader source code, could still be used in damaging ways. “Most high-profile breaches have resulted in the loss of personal data that has the potential to impact individuals,” said Purandar Das, CEO and co-founder of encryption-based data security solutions company Sotero, in an email to Lifewire, “Establishing a baseline that personal data wasn’t lost is more of a reflex response and not truly indicative of the adverse potential any data breach poses....
FORD: How did you get involved with the brokerage firm that channeled payments from Bank Bali to the Habibie campaign? RAMLI: When the Indonesian government shut down several banks early last year, about $160 million of Bank Bali’s money got caught in the system at the central bank. We wrote letters, held meetings, pleaded with officials, but they wouldn’t release the money. If I’d had the money, I might have been able to save my bank....
A new phrase has emerged in the debate over climate change: managing the unavoidable. To grasp “unavoidable,” consider a few simple numbers. Before the Industrial Revolution, the atmosphere held 280 parts per million of carbon dioxide (CO2). We are now at 380 and climbing. Since the 1992 Rio Convention on Climate Change, which obligated its signatories (including the United States) to inventory their greenhouse-gas emissions and devise plans to control them, global emissions have risen from 6 billion metric tons of carbon to 7....
Not at all. Of course, we tried to work Americans living in Germany. We knew if we were successful that they would then go on to some important position in the United States. In the last years we tried things in the U.S. after we had an embassy there, but the most important success was with Germans who worked with American authorities in Germany [such as] the American Mission in West Berlin....
With improved police tactics, broader information storage, DNA evidence, and increased surveillance, it has also become more difficult for individuals to get away with serious crimes. However, David Wilson, professor emeritus of criminology and the founding director of the Centre for Applied Criminology at Birmingham City University, U.K., spoke to Newsweek and highlighted that there is still a need for significant changes in order to capture them. He noted that while there have been a wealth of improvements over the decades, serial killers still manage to escape justice through thorough planning, well-picked targets, and exploiting police failings....

The Peruvian military is so badly off it may not be able to beat terrorism even now that the generals are running the country with President Alberto Fujimori. The armed forces’ support for Fujimori’s coup reflects not only their anger with judicial and political corruption but also frustration and humiliation over their own institutional problems. Military analysts in Peru say Fujimori’s decision to assume dictatorial powers was made partly to head off a move by underpaid officers to overthrow their own high command....

In the build-up to that match, the midfielder was asked in a press conference if he was frustrated that Madrid’s interest had not been backed up with a bid and said: “I’m a professional and if I’m not in Real Madrid’s plans, I will stay here and that’s that....
But with the news of his untimely death, it’s that haunting first film that springs to mind, for it understands so well the acute pain of mourning. I first met the man at a dinner in Los Angeles with director Randa Haines, whose movie “The Doctor” he had rewritten. His gentle, soft-spoken presence created an aura of intimacy that you wanted to share; it was easy to see why actors were drawn into his collaborative embrace....
