Avishai Raviv goes on trial in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court Sunday, facing charges of failing, in his capacity as an agent of the Shin Bet security service, to prevent the assassination of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Raviv was indicted two years ago for failing to prevent the assassination, as well as for making extremist remarks at an Eyal organization ceremony. Raviv has denied the charges against him. The trial was delayed at length following a demand by Raviv's defense to review all investigative material, and the prosecution's opposition on the grounds that exposure of the material would prejudice the...

Linda Chavez (archive)(printer-friendly version)July 11, 2001Chandra Levy For weeks, I've avoided the Chandra Levy story, reading almost nothing about the missing intern who disappeared in Washington, D.C., April 30, the day before she was to return home to receive her master's degree from the University of Southern California. I've avoided all the sleazy speculation about whether Congressman Gary Condit D-Calif.) was having an affair with the 25-year-old woman or whether he might be involved in her disappearance, switching channels when news reports came on or simply skipping the newspaper articles. There are more than 443 active missing persons cases in ...

Aylmer, Ont., is Mennonite country. It's a pretty sleepy place. Until three days ago, the police department's biggest case was a bank robbery back in 1997. (They caught the guy.) Last Wednesday came an even bigger case. It took all the cops in town, plus heavy reinforcements, to seize the seven children of Herbert and Emily Greber (not their real names). The police action was, once again, successful. Mr. and Mrs. Greber have spanked their children from time to time using an object other than their hands. They refuse to say they'll never do it again. Therefore, according to ...

In return, prosecutors will recommend probation, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Tuesday. If the plea bargain is accepted, Johnston said he could be placed on probation for up to three years. "They are agreeing to dismiss the entire indictment against me and I am agreeing that I should have informed them that I didn't turn over ...

But by then we will have 30,000 armed Palestinian soldiers in our cities, on land with a large measure of freedom..." -- PA Official Nabil Sha'ath, in a speech in Shechem, January 1996; cassette recording revealed by Palestinian Media Watch Yesterday's Report

Yasser Arafat has everyone baffled. Yes, after Arafat started a war just weeks after being offered a generous peace, most Westerners awoke to reality. Even the New York Times's Thomas Friedman, searching as ever in Arafat for "statesmanship and real peaceful intentions," discovered that "Mr. ...

Triple Killing in Coffee Shop Stirs Death Penalty Debate February 20, 2000 Triple Killing in Coffee Shop Stirs Death Penalty Debate By JOHN FILES ASHINGTON, Feb. 19 -- Federal prosecutors are pressing for the death penalty against a man charged with murdering three employees at a Starbucks coffee shop here in July 1997, clearing the way for the city's first death penalty case in nearly 30 years.

Ties together the Bosnian War and the missing Billions in what we call the country: Russia. If you thought comedy was dead, you obviously haven’t heard of Strobe Talbott, the State Dept.’s factotum where Russian affairs are concerned. The Strobe used to be a Time hack, a man who took, and continues to take, himself extremely seriously. The reason I find him so funny is simple. There is no bigger mess than Russia right now, but the Strobe, who should have resigned in shame five years ago, remains unaffected by the intrusion of fact and continues to bang on endlessly. ...

Asked if he felt indebted to Russia for helping crush the Hungarian uprising of 1848, the Austrian prime minister, Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, replied, "Austria will astound the world with the magnitude of her ingratitude." In the annals of diplomatic cynicism, no statement is more bracing and more instructive. Schwarzenberg was no original, however. He was merely restating with savage candor Lord Palmerston's famous adage that "We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual." This kind of coldbloodedness in diplomacy is common in the Old World. It reflects the view that ...
