Not much will keep Cindy down. Her husband is divorcing her, her mother had a stroke, and most of the rest of her family thinks she is stomping on her son’s grave. But she’s still going strong, replacing her actual family with the much more sociable aliens-abducted-my-grandparents crowd that turned out in Crawford to lend their wallets, fashion crews, and media teams.

CRAWFORD, Texas - Cindy Sheehan hasn't achieved a meeting with the president during her three-week war protest, but she met a man who plays one on TV. Martin Sheen, who portrays the president on NBC's "The West Wing," visited Sheehan's makeshift campsite Sunday.

Diliberto said that "the entire centre left (in Italy) should ask the withdrawal of our troops in Parliament. Enough...

We are calling for this coordinated day of action to be held next Thursday, February 17 in your cities, towns, and, if you are a law student, at...

Breed, AP Writer When Brian Avery called home in early January to say he was heading for Israel, his parents realized they could not stop him. Brian was an adult, after all. But he was still their youngest child, and they had to at least try. "This issue has been there for so long," his father, Bob Avery, tried to reason with his 24-year-old son. "How do you think you can change it?" "If everyone took the position that 'there's nothing I can do,"' Brian replied, "then nothing's...
