Cold Turkey: The Last Word on the Week That Was
Ah, the holidays a season of family, friends and forgiveness. That time of year when you chew cold turkey and reflect on what we have in common rather than what divides. And it is in this spirit of reconciliation that TIME Daily would like to say sorry to Newsweek for making fun of its digitally-altered Bobbi McCaughey cover. OJ knows, TIME isnt above a bit of photo-tampering itself. Heck, practically anyone whos ever owned Photoshop has given their relatives a gleaming new set of dentures at one time or another. Consider it forgotten, Newsweek. We wont mention it again and thats the tooth.
Iraq Stacks the Deck
The current situation in Iraq brings to mind a certain truism regarding needles and haystacks. The problem for the last week or so has been that Saddam wont allow inspectors searching for some particularly deadly needles into his palatial haystacks said to be the size of Washington, D.C. But so what? As TIMEs Pentagon correspondent Dick Thompson pointed out Wednesday, you can manufacture nerve gas in a 10x10 room. How many 10x10 rooms can there be in Iraq? Thats an awful lot of haystacks to grope around in. Perhaps those weapons inspectors ought to quit while theyre ahead, and take up more promising positions like in Ted Kaczynskis defense team.
