By , , and • June 4, 2002

RAMALLAH, West Bank?Responding to growing U.S. pressure to fight terror, Yasser Arafat presented CIA Director George Tenet with a plan Tuesday for restructuring the unwieldy Palestinian security apparatus. The Palestinian leader appointed a 73-year-old general to head the new security array, but Israel said the proposed changes are largely cosmetic because Arafat, who has done little to rein in militants in the past, remains in charge.

The Playoffs Intensify My Lakers Hatred

June 4, 2002

It's official?I hate the Lakers. This year's playoffs have hardened my hatred for the team that donned the last two championship rings, and with the win on Sunday, will probably complete a three peat.

Dumping Nuclear Garbage in Nevada Is a Waste

June 4, 2002

Last Memorial Day, as I drove along U.S. Highway 93 on my way to McGill, the small northern Nevada town where I was born, I made a special effort to look around at the rugged desert scenery. Sometimes called "the loneliest road in America," Highway 93 and the isolated sagebrush covered hills surrounding it have become, for me, synonymous with home, family and friends.

June 4, 2002

Add another name to the list of the departed from the U men's basketball team.

When the top pro basketball prospects tied up their shoes at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp starting June 4 in Chicago, Ill., a Ute was among them.
