A month after President Jean-Bertrand Aristide triumphantly returned to power, the U.S. intervention in the hemisphere’s first black republic hasn’t turned into the military quagmire some predicted. But for blacks, nearly one third of U. S. Army enlisted men, it has been a psychologically jolting experience. The sights and sounds of an African-born culture created by 400 years of slavery, independence, oppression and the hope of redemption pack a special wallop for troops whose own past reverberates with the same themes....

But it wasn’t just folks in Washington who were upset....

Of the 155 cardinals at the secret sessions, several called for reform of the Roman Curia, the Vatican bureaucracy, including two members of the Curia itself. For at least six years, John Paul has left the daily business of running the Holy See to Curia officials, who often ignore the bishops around the world. For example, the Vatican official in charge of overseeing the translation of liturgical texts has refused for two years to meet with a committee of English-speaking bishops....

Many of Arsenal’s players were impressive and Bacary Sagna kept up his superb season with another solid display against the French side. Sagna was equally as important in defence as he was going forward, grabbing an assist for Jack Wilshere’s first goal and playing another key pass later on in the match. Only Mesut Ozil and Wilshere created more chances than Sagna. The French defender was marauding up and down the right flank all night and was comfortable in possession as well....

If “Die Hard,” directed by John McTiernan, was the best adventure movie of 1988, this sequel, directed by Renny Harlin (“A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master”), may be the most profligately entertaining thrill machine of the summer. The “Die Hard” movies–and they could well turn into a series, Bruce Willis permitting–have many of the same virtues of the best of the James Bond movies: first-rate production values, an endless supply of escalating cliffhangers and a fine sense of their own preposterousness....

Finding a kidnapping victim dead in her own house is strange enough. But the murder of JonBenet Ramsey is proving to be an unusually eerie crime. Investigators say that JonBenet had been sexually assaulted, and Colorado newspapers report that her skull had been fractured before she was strangled. Police say there were no signs of forced entry and that the murderer was probably someone very familiar with the Ramseys’ 15-room Tudor manse....

Of the three, “Arachnophobia” is the slickest product: it pushes the audience’s buttons with Pavlovian finesse, manufacturing industrial-strength adrenaline. First-time director Frank Marshall has long been Steven Spielberg’s producer, and he’s learned the master’s lessons well. Basically, he has given A production values to an old B-movie formula: this is the one about the small town threatened by alien invaders. In the ’50s it would have been a bargain-basement black and white programmer about outer-space critters or giant mutant insects; here it’s a new breed of deadly spiders transported from Venezuela that wreaks havoc on an idyllic (Spiel)burg....

The bureau, they say, has uncovered financial records showing a steady stream of payments to the family of one of the students, Omar Al Bayoumi. The money moved into the family’s bank account beginning in early 2000, just a few months after hijackers Khalid Almidhar and Nawaf Alhazmi arrived in Los Angeles from an Al Qaeda planning summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, according to the sources. Within days of the terrorists’ arrival in the United State, Al Bayoumi befriended the two men who would eventually hijack American Flight 77, throwing them a welcoming party in San Diego and guaranteeing their lease on an apartment next door to his own....
