WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials believe the guerrilla commander leading the fight against Afghanistan's ruling Taliban died in an explosion Sunday, despite denials from his aides that Ahmad Shah Masood survived an assassination attempt, a U.S. official said Monday. ``We believe he's dead,'' a U.S. official told Reuters on condition of anonymity, without giving further details on what information he had to base the assertion. Members of Masood's alliance have said the commander was being treated Monday for minor wounds, and opposition spokesmen both inside and outside Afghanistan denied an earlier report from Russia's Itar-Tass news agency that Masood ...

<p>Friday's jump in the unemployment rate and stock market plunge may have a silver lining, if they break the grip of what two weeks ago I called "cockamamie economics." With the economy faltering, Washington has been aflutter over whether to pay down the federal debt by $158 billion or $153 billion--the surpluses estimated respectively by the Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office.</p>

As in previous years, the immigration lobby and now President Bush are trying ...

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Ecclesiastes 10:2 ALL PREVIOUS THREADS In light of the Daffodil Principle where individual efforts over time add up to a mammoth contribution, we are looking at ways to use this lesson as we seek to promote conservatism, the Republican Party and the administration of George Bush. We are currently involved in a letter-writing campaign - Project Daffodil-Letters. Some of us have been involved in the Klamath Falls Petition, and the People First petition to defund the Endangered Species Act. For more ...

New Yorkers once overwhelming told pollsters they wanted Bill Clinton as their Mayor. Now, it looks like they might just get what they wished for. Sort of. Mayoral hopeful Mark Green, the City's Public Advocate, is looking more like Bill Clinton every day. Rather than being "Rudy-lite," the moniker Freddy Ferrer has assigned to his opponents, Mark Green has become "Clinton-lite." He has the celebrity quotient without the scandals. The centrist demeanor without the pandering. Yet. Mark Green has created his own form of triangulation. This is worthy strategy for the upcoming primary, but a possible pitfall if Mr. Green ...

Rambo Reno kills me Rambo Reno: Das Hoot! I don't know when I've laughed so hard. Waco was a gas, then came the witty Elian rescue. You have to hand it to Rambo Reno — she's a character! Now she's running for governor of Florida, my birth state, and seems to be campaigning on her indefatigable sense of humor. Speaking before a crowd of 2,500 students at Penn State University a few nights ago, Rambo told the students that they should be able to laugh at themselves. "It is important that Americans laugh together," said the well-known comedienne. "To ...

Editor's Note: F.R. Duplantier presented a three-hour seminar for homeschooling parents a few years ago. We thought you would enjoy his guide that was prepared for parents who wanted to nurture their children's writing skills. F.R. is himself a first-rate professional writer and thinker and has long been a Toogood Reports reader favorite. "The world is charged with the grandeur of G-d." So observed Gerard Manley Hopkins, poet and priest, more than 100 years ago. Of all G-d's grand creations, man is one of the grandest and Hopkins one of the grandest of men. If you have not read ...

It will be very easy for you to say, "Well, I will do something, some day. When I can afford it, I am going to." But would you let an old "grad" tell you one thing now? Giving is a habit. Get into the habit now, because you will never be able to afford to give and contribute, thus to repay the obligation you owe to those people who made this college possible, if you wait until you think you can afford it. Start now regardless of how small, and in the days to come when you are confronted with ...

Don't enact federal law to solve local issues By Peter G. Chronis Denver Post staff writer Tuesday, September 04, 2001 - Coloradans used to love bashing Texans who thronged here in summer or during hunting season, often in motor homes that should have been registered as aircraft carriers. That's passe now that we can blame Californians for every ill from overbuilding to halitosis. I think the Left Coasters deserve a time out, so I will bash the place of my birth, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for indirectly giving me and some other Coloradans the vapors. Any Californian who wishes may ...

Secrets of the Florida Recount According to Newsweek's David A. Kaplan, the fiercest battle of the Florida election fiasco took place in Washington in the back chambers of the Supreme Court. In his new book "The Accidental President," Kaplan details the secret maneuvering and bitterness that consumed the court as the justices agonized over a decision that promised to seal their personal futures and the future of the nation. When the court finally reached its decision to invalidate the Florida recount by a razor thin 5-4 margin, it handed George Bush the presidency, outraged Democrats, and raised speculation about the ...

Monday September 10, 11:10 AM Macedonians resent West's pressure over Albanians' rights SKOPJE, Sept 10 (AFP) - Macedonia may be committed to a peace plan strengthening the rights of ethnic Albanian rights, but many ordinary citizens fiercely resent Western pressure on how to run their country. The truth is that the fragile Balkan state, weakened by seven months of fighting and economically dependent on foreign aid, feels it has had its hand forced by the West. "NATO's aim: the Albanization of Macedonia," read one placard, in English, at an anti-NATO rally outside parliament, where lawmakers last week backed a framework ...

The Defense Department cannot account for $1.1 trillion that seems to have vanished within the tangled system of financial accounting put in place by private contractors. Every year trillions of dollars are unaccounted for by federal agencies, and every year these same agencies are called before congressional oversight committees to explain this mismanagement of taxpayers’ funds. Year after year the bureaucratic mea culpas are longer on process and shorter on substance, leaving overseers with little or no information that is useful to correct the gross mismanagement. Take, for instance, the financial mess at the Department of Defense (DOD). In May, ...
