I've got a geode in a drawer somewhere. It's brownish on the outside, red on the inside.

Put a real quarter, not a slug, in the appropriate slot. I know the instructions are difficult but you are still in school aren't you?

"...American soldiers showed here on Sunday that they can deliver a crushing amount of firepower. But the overwhelming military force seemed to anger many Iraqis, who said civilians had been killed...

The guerrilla war claimed another American life on Monday, in another Hussein stronghold. In Habbaniya, about 75 miles southwest of Samarra, an American soldier was killed when his convoy came under attack.

By the American forces' account, what the battle on Sunday showed is that American forces are confronting an enemy that is growing in sophistication, carrying out bigger attacks involving more fighters...

Sheik Khatan al-Salem, a Samarra town official with a decidedly anti-American bent, predicted that the battle on Sunday would ultimately prove to be something less than an American victory.

"Why is the resistance increasing now?" the sheik asked. "Simply because the Americans misbehave with the people."

"All their actions motivate the young people to do such acts, not because they love Saddam," he said. "They do not love Saddam. They love their country."
