interesting notion: A graver threat Bernard-Henri Lévy, France's 'rock star' philosopher-journalist, traces the killing of reporter Daniel Pearl to high levels in Pakistan -- a U.S. ally that's a far graver threat than Saddam's Iraq, he tells CHRISTOPHER DREHER in New York City. His most disturbing theory -- that Mr. Pearl had uncovered proof that Pakistani nuclear scientists were giving technical information to al-Qaeda -- calls into question the wisdom of the United States' recent war on Iraq, when one of its own allies might pose a much greater and more immediate threat. theglobeandmail.com

One of my daughters, who is currently attending college in S. Calif., on a recent trip home, asked me what I thought about the Kobe case. She seemed a little taken aback when I said "Not much". Immersed in a milieu that hypes this case to a point of supersaturation, that someone would consider it to be of negligible significance, and of interest only to the parties directly involved, was unfathomably alien. On a different sports related matter, am I the only one who eschewed ESPN's pre-game sports coverage because my stomach couldn't tolerate Rush Limbaugh? JMO lurqer
