    On Monday morning, during a routine morning shift at the Qalandiya crossing in northern Jerusalem, an Arab woman arrived at the checkpoint. When she put her belongings in for inspection, the combat soldier from the "Erez" battalion, Sergeant Anton Goltzman, saw in the mirror that there was a sharp object in her bag that aroused his suspicion.

    An appeals court in Britain said Wednesday that Procter and Gamble's snack treat Pringles were, technically, potato chips and subject to sales tax. The ruling has a potential to require the company to pay $155 million in back taxes and $31 million per year, but a Procter and Gamble spokesperson said prior arrangements with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs meant there were no back taxes due, The Daily Telegraph reported. Foods are rarely subject to sales tax in Britain, but potato chips happen to be singled out as an exception. The court heard arguments on whether or not Pringles, made...

Pringle had a lavish spread laid out late Wednesday afternoon at the Ritz-Carlton in lower Manhattan, a new hotel with a spectacular view of the New York Harbor. Carved meats, Caesar salad, pasta, an open bar and hors d'oeuvres. Beach Boys...
