D-Day

On June 6, 1944, a date known ever since as D-Day, a mighty armada crossed a narrow strip of sea from England to Normandy, France, and cracked the Nazi grip on western Europe.

Dust-up over courtroom picture

Mohammed said a courtroom artist at his arraignment Thursday made his nose look too big. No photographers were allowed inside the courtroom, so it fell to artist Janet Hamlin to provide the world with the first image of the al-Qaida kingpin since his capture in Pakistan in 2003. “I heard he said I should compare it to the FBI photo of him”, Hamlin said clutching a copy of the much-publicized capture photo that showed Mohammed in a T-shirt looking disheveled and unshaven.
