In the Line of Fire creates its own storm |
| |
President Musharraf’s “In the Line of Fire” has, according to many within the book industry taken the country by storm, become a best seller on the English language book market. However due to the absence of any objective and neutral mechanism to monitor book sales this has proven difficult to verify, with many pointing out that most book shops and dealers do not even know what the previous bestseller was.

Clip crazy:Op Ed by Chris Cork |
| |
The world — not just the sub-continent or Pakistan — has gone clip-crazy. For those of you who are not Netizens or have managed to avoid the curse of the mobile phone a ‘clip’ is a short piece of video, usually of poor quality, that is taken with a digicam or mobile phone and then circulated either on the internet via You-tube or a similar file-sharing website; or through the new generation of multifunctional mobile phones.
