WAR WOMEN:

During World War II, the likes of Betty Grable and Vera Lynn comforted U.S. and British troops. Recently the never-shy Pamela Anderson and former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell have stepped into their shoes, schmoozing with troops at home and in the Middle East. Luckily for the allies, Pam and "Ginger Spice" aren't the only women involved in this war.

NO ORDINARY CRASH:

In the wake of September 11, some people involved in the U.S. inquiry on Egyptair Flight 990's crash into the Atlantic Ocean two years ago wonder whether a new look should be taken at possible terrorist involvement. They point out that more than 30 Egyptian military officers--reportedly including seven generals--were on the Boeing 767, making it a potentially compelling target for Egyptian terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden. Administration sources say the investigation is still open, though there appears to be little official interest in exploring anew a possible terror link. And so far there's no evidence suggesting one, according to sources close to Egyptair.
