For Paul McCartney, 'many years from now' is this month By MARK CARO He's not losing his hair, though colour seems to be an issue. He does have grandchildren, though no Vera, Chuck or Dave. He has been known to do a little gardening work, "digging the weed," so to speak. In fact, one of his multiple marijuana busts was for growing the stuff on his Scotland farm back in the early 70s. Given the recent upheaval in his personal life, it's unclear who'll feed him, though there's no doubt he'll be taken care of. Yes, the cultural alarm clock that Paul McCartney set 39 years ago is ringing. The man who sang When I'm Sixty-Four in 1967 turns 64 June 18. "I do remember that on ...

Monitor the mosques! On June 2 and 3, Canadian law enforcement in Toronto arrested 17 Muslim men for planning terrorist attacks on Canadian targets. The leader of the group, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, recruited young Muslim males by speaking at Al-Rahman Islamic Center for Islamic Education, a storefront mosque in Mississauga. Law enforcement officials across the globe are searching for suspects connected to the Toronto 17; American law enforcement has already discovered at least two terrorism suspects who spoke with members of the Canadian terrorist cell. In May 2004, London authorities arrested hook-handed, one-eyed imam Abu Hamza al-Masri. The United States immediately filed charges ...

Posted June 6, 2006 – He was considered “the fifth Beatle” by the quartet’s legendary late guitarist George Harrison, because of his invaluable contributions to the Beatle’s Let it Be, The White Album and Abbey Road LPs. But even before that huge accolade, Billy Preston made indelible marks on the gospel and soul scenes as an organist and keyboardist. In 1956, when he was only 10, he played behind the “Queen of Gospel,” Mahalia Jackson. Two years later, he played a youthful W.C. Handy in the bio-pic, St. Louis Blues. The following decade saw Preston playing with R&B pioneers Little Richard and Ray Charles. With early-’70s solo hits such as ...

LONDON: SIR Paul McCartney yesterday remained hidden away at his Sussex farmhouse, reportedly rocked by revelations his estranged wife posed for a series of pornographic photographs. Even in his worst nightmares it is unlikely he could have envisaged Monday's front-page headline in British newspaper The Sun: "Lady Macca Hard Core Porn Shame", accompanied by a picture of a young, virtually naked Heather Mills in what is often described as a "steamy clinch" under a shower. The picture is one of a series of pornographic shots taken for a 112-page German book, Die Freuden Der Liebe ? "The Joys Of Love" ? published in 1988. More pages inside the newspaper were ...

A package of incentives presented Tuesday to Iran includes a provision for the United States to supply Tehran with some nuclear technology if it stops enriching uranium _ a major concession by Washington, diplomats said. The offer was part of a series of rewards offered to Tehran by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, according to the diplomats, who were familiar with the proposals and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing confidential details of the offer. The package was agreed on last week by the United States, Britain, France, China and Russia _ the five veto-wielding members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, in ...

The Islamist leader said his militia was now in control of all strategic points of the city and that the warlords had recognised ...

NOVO-OGARYOVO, Russia - Russian President Vladimir Putin challenged the United States on Friday over human rights and NATO expansion but said the two nations are more partners than opponents. In some of his warmest comments about the United States in months of sliding relations, Putin minimized disagreements between the two powers as "tactical" while asserting "the things that unite us are of a strategic character." Putin said he was "satisfied with the level and quality" of U.S.-Russian relations. "In combatting terrorism, "we are more than partners," he told a group of media executives from the Group of Eight nations at a dinner at his ...

By Ray Waddell NASHVILLE (Billboard) - The Zombies are very much alive. Rod Argent, founder of the seminal British rock group, will follow up a summer run as a member of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band with a U.S. tour by the Zombies. "I never wanted to just re-form the Zombies," Argent says, adding that the reunion had to include "doing some new stuff as well. It sounds like a fresh new band with an immense amount of energy, (plus) we're really happy to do all of the old stuff. It's a blast to do those songs live." When Argent's post-Zombies group Argent ("Hold Your Head Up") split in 1975, he says, "I thought at the time that my musical career was ...

PARANGTRITIS, INDONESIA - As the earthquake struck in the predawn light last Saturday, Suripto could only think of one thing as he looked out over the crashing waves and dark-sand beach: a tsunami. At 5:30 a.m., Suripto, who like many Indonesians uses only one name, was preparing chilled coconut juice for tourists. "I learned [from TV] that you have to watch the waves to see if they recede, he says. "I was ready to run - then nothing happened. Then I started helping my community." Like Suripto, aid workers and government agencies are taking their experiences from the 2004 tsunami and applying those lessons to Indonesia's latest calamity, the May 27 earthquake on the ...

TORONTO - Canadian police foiled a homegrown terrorist attack by arresting 17 suspects, apparently inspired by al-Qaida, who obtained three times the amount of an explosive ingredient used in the Oklahoma City bombing, officials said Saturday. The FBI said the Canadian suspects may have had "limited contact" with two men recently arrested on terrorism charges in Georgia. About 400 regional police and federal agents participated in the arrests Friday and early Saturday. "These individuals were allegedly intent on committing acts of terrorism against their own country and their own people," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement. "As we have said ...

How Bush Brewed the Iranian Crisis Paul Craig Roberts Why did the Bush regime create a crisis over Iran? The answer is that the Bush regime is desperate to widen the war in the Middle East. What has Iran done? Unlike Israel, Pakistan and India, countries that developed nuclear weapons on the sly, Iran signed the nonproliferation treaty. Countries that sign this treaty have the right to develop nuclear energy. The International Atomic Energy Agency monitors their energy programs to guard against their being used to cloak weapons development. Until the Bush regime provoked a crisis, Iran was cooperating with the inspection safeguards. The weapons inspectors have found no Iranian weapons ...

The oil-rich but politically unstable nation of Venezuela is emerging as a potential hub of terrorism in the Western Hemisphere, providing assistance to Islamic radicals from the Middle East and other terrorists, say senior U.S. military and intelligence officials. Bush administration aides see this as an unpredictably dangerous mix and are gathering more information about the intentions of a country that sits 1,000 miles south of Florida. One thing that's clear is that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is fast becoming America's newest nemesis, U.S. officials say. He has forged close ties with Cuba's Fidel Castro and has befriended some of America's other notorious enemies, traveling ...

Writing in that fateful year, 1939, T.S. Eliot, intellectual and Christian, admonished his contemporaries who had placed their faith in the triumph of democracy. Democracy is not enough, Eliot wrote. ''As political philosophy derives its sanction from ethics, and ethics from the truth of religion, it is only by returning to the eternal source of truth that we can hope for any social organization which will not, to its ultimate destruction, ignore some essential aspect of reality. ''The term 'democracy,' as I have said again and again, does not contain enough positive content to stand alone against the forces you dislike – it can easily be transformed by them. If you will not have God ...

Paulson Pick Goes From Bad to Worse A few things to add to my earlier report on the nomination of Henry M. Paulson Jr. to replace John Snow as Treasury secretary. Let me preface this post by noting that what you read here is depressing. At a time when the Bush Administration desperately needs to salvage its standing with conservatives, it has had another Harriet Miers moment. 1. The Center for Responsive Politics has released its own evaluation of Paulson’s giving. And with all of its tools at its disposal, Massie Ritsch and Neil Tambe have done a good job painting a picture of Hank Paulson and his wife’s giving. As I noted earlier and they confirm, Paulson is a big-time ...

VIENNA, Austria - Six world powers agreed Thursday to offer Iran a new choice of rewards if it gives up suspect nuclear activities or punishment if it refuses, a gambit that could either defuse a global confrontation with the Islamic regime or hasten one. "There are two paths ahead," British Foreign Secretary Margaret Becket said in announcing agreement among the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China on a package deal for Iran that carries the threat of United Nations sanctions. The package would be on the table for a proposed new round of bargaining with Tehran over what the West calls a rogue nuclear program that could produce a bomb. The U.S., in a major ...

A still from the video footage obtained by the BBC The pictures came from a hardline Sunni group The BBC has uncovered new video evidence that US forces may have been responsible for the deliberate killing of 11 innocent Iraqi civilians. The video appears to challenge the US military's account of events that took place in the town of Ishaqi in March. The US said at the time four people died during a military operation, but Iraqi police claimed that US troops had deliberately shot the 11 people. A spokesman for US forces in Iraq told the BBC an inquiry was under way. The new evidence comes in the wake of the alleged massacre in Haditha, where US marines are suspected of massacring up to ...
