] As of last week, there have been no accidents since the
] reconfiguration, Bishop said. But he added he considers
] the intersection "an accident waiting to happen."
]
] His point was underscored by a March 7 incident in which
] a line of six cars driving east on business Route 33 all
] veered into the lane of oncoming westbound traffic.
]
] Bishop said the driver of the lead car went into the
] wrong lane, and the other drivers following closely also
] went the same way. God, I miss New Jersey... SIGNS SAY SOMETHING'S WRONG ON BUSINESS ROUTE 33 |

To see the ghost you need to "concentrate around the table. Best not to focus too much on one spot. Look around the table and toward the window... For an added touch turn up the volume, it's faint, but the low murmur you hear was what got the photographer's attention first." To see the 'ghost' you need to have shockwave installed on your computer. You also need to wait about thirty seconds. Ghost. |

] The photograph's caption doesn't give her a name. Nor
] does it name the man who cradles her. He is just "a
] Marine medic" And she is just "a 4-year-old
] girl."
]
] He sits cross-legged on the ground, one heel scraping a
] small hollow in the sand, eyes closed as he holds her.
] She curls into the fetal position, her bare feet pale in
] the sun. Her doll fingers reach to touch his camouflaged
] chest, the pink sleeve of her sweater smudged with blood.
]
] Her mother, we are told, was killed in the crossfire near
] a place called Rifa.
]
] That is one way we might describe it. Another way, the
] military way, is shorter and simpler: collateral damage.
] Or, if that seems a bit abstract, there's
] "liberated," the Newspeak of our patriotic age.
]
] Of course, those words mean nothing to the 4-year-old
] girl. She is too young to have the words she needs to
] frame her world's end. There is only the incomprehensible
] fact of her mother's absence, this strange, helmeted man. Cost Of War Too High For One Little Girl |
