DID PAKISTANI INTELLIGENCE PROVIDE A NUCLEAR WEAPON TO AL QUAEDA? That horrifying suspicion is advanced in a new book from one of France's leading journalists. And the matter is discussed here, with his usual thoroughness and clarity, by Ron Rosenbaum,a former guest on Extension 720. The article is from the current edition of the New York Observer.

FENCES KEEP OUT BAD NEIGHBORS. Krauthammer, in this latest column, examines just what the fall of Mahmoud Abbas meant...and what now must be done. The column is from last Friday's Washington Post.

WHEN DO WE GET SERIOUS ABOUT DANGEROUS ALIENS WHO MAY BE TERRORISTS? We are a bit late getting around to this column by Michelle Malkin, a sometime guest on our program. This column of hers appeared two days before 9/11. Check the links she provides--then read 'em and weep.

AN ILLUMINATING (AND LENGTHY) DISCUSSION OF IRAQ AND OF THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN STANDOFF. This discussion by some particularly well-informed policy specialists took place a week ago at the Brookings Institution.

THE TIMES GETS IT RIGHT--SORT OF. NOW (National Organization of Women) seems increasingly to be from "then," when all a candidate needed to do was be a woman. But, in criticizing their endorsement of Carol Mosley Braun, the New York Times fails to recount the disgraceful corruption of Braun's one term in the Senate, including her backing of a muderous African dictator for whom her then "special friend" was doing publicity work.

THE REAL CAPTAIN BLIGH. The commander of HMS Bounty is the subject of the fine new book reviewed here. The author, Caroline Alexander, will be our guest on September 25th.

THE ART (OR TRICK?) OF PROPHECY. Oracles and the oracular "art" are apparently treated with amusing but erudite analysis in this new book. The Washington Post reviewer seems fascinated and yet a bit ambivalent. But his review persuades us to get the book and to try and book the author.

MORE ON SCHUBERT'S WINTERREISSE. That was our musical selection on last Friday's File--and now we find that the U.K. Telegraph classifies it as "the greatest of song cycles." And, according to this story from Sunday's paper, a dance version is about to be premiered in London.

MOZART, BRAHMS, BACH AND BEETHOVEN! This great concert was given at the Martha Argerich Festival in Lugano, Switzerland last June. Do be sure to listen to the great performance of Beethoven's Triple Concerto as performed by Argerich, Maisky and Capucon.
