By Alyson Brodsy and Curt Anderson · Wednesday, July 14,2004 10:01 p.m.

Military prepares for Afghan election

By Alyson Brodsy and Stephen Graham · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:59 p.m.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Thousands of American troops have begun a new operation to prevent militants from derailing Afghanistan's first presidential election, the top U.S. commander here said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. Lt. Gen. David Barno insisted the switch does not blur the military's focus on catching Osama bin Laden and other top fugitives. But he acknowledged he has no firm idea where the al-Qaida leader is hiding or what he might be planning.

Bin Laden aide surrenders to Saudi authorities

By Seraphim Danckaert · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:58 p.m.

An alleged al-Qaida chief, Khaled bin Ouda al-Harby, turned himself into Saudi Arabian authorities Tuesday as part of an amnesty program the country implemented last month. Saudi officials in mid-June devised a one-month amnesty program to commute the sentences of militants who turned themselves in to the government. The Saudi government has come under intense domestic and international pressure to combat an increasingly violent militant movement in the country.

Hoosiers take shot at Athens

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:37 p.m.

A large contingent of former and current IU athletes traveled to Sacramento, Calif., to compete in this week's U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. Many of the Hoosier elite have used strong performances during the Big Ten's 2004 outdoor season to train for the Trials, but an IU alumna and women's track and field graduate assistant coach is making the most noise from the Hoosier hopefuls. Rose Richmond, who graduated from IU in 2003, qualified for the finals in the long jump competition Monday.

Former IU stars getting their kicks as professionals

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:35 p.m.

IU men's soccer continues to dominate within the college ranks, but former IU coach Jerry Yeagley built a program that bred players for success at the professional level as well. During Major League Soccer's brief nine-year existence, 19 former Hoosiers have passed through the league, including six current MLS players. The most recent Hoosier to join the league is the 2004 second-round draft choice Ned Grabavoy, who was selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy after leading IU to its sixth national championship last year.

Mr. Liquidity

By Alyson Brodsy and JP Benitez · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:35 p.m.

Last week I was pimped out to the highest bidder. I walked in, filled out my forms, passed my health examinations and laid still for an hour while she had her way with me. Everything was safe and sterile. The insertion didn't hurt as much as I had anticipated, but looking at it filled me with a strange uneasiness. The foreign thing didn't belong there; it throbbed under my skin and took from me something that only time could heal. When I left the bed, I was shivering.

More than Oprah

By Alyson Brodsy and Lauren Zaczek · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:32 p.m.

Let's make a deal. You read this entire column from beginning to end, and I will give you a present when you are finished. Passing "go" and skipping to the last paragraph will not earn you $200. You must read every word between here and there. Now that we have established the rules, I have a story about my last trip to Borders bookstore. Sitting in the café, I saw two blonde females in their early 20s claim the table next to mine. These rather boisterous ladies sprawled their books and papers across the table and started flipping feverishly through them.

Better late than never

By Alyson Brodsy and Jonathan Blanks · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:30 p.m.

Getting a newspaper to admit a mistake is as frequent and likely as a change in Vatican policy -- minus the fanfare. On July 4, the Herald-Leader of Lexington, Ky., did the unthinkable: it ran a front-page exposé of the Lexington print media's virtual cover-up of the local civil rights movement during the 1950s and '60s, alongside two related articles and a full-page of previously unreleased photos of heroic civil disobedience in their community.

Recipes too simplistic for taste

By David Kanter · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:29 p.m.

I get out of bed every morning for a few concentrated reasons. And I have to admit food, namely sweets, is on the top of the list. I usually wake up at about 7:30 a.m. and jump from bed at the thought of the awaiting box of Krispy Kremes and a cup of coffee. If you are addicted to sweets like me, then the newly published cookbook "Cookie Dough Delights," written by IU graduate student and former Indiana Daily Student food columnist Camilla V. Salisbury, may be the book for you.

Homeland insecurities

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, July 14,2004 9:28 p.m.

We believe there are three pressing issues the federal government must address to help secure America over the next few months. The election season will be rife with potential targets, and our ongoing war on terror will require much-needed definition and assistance. First, President Bush must swiftly nominate a new, permanent director for the Central Intelligence Agency. Having only an acting director over the next few months in this tumultuous time is unacceptable.

The Rules: how to watch a movie
