YESTERDAY Bengals receiver Chad Johnson promised to top his past celebrations against the Ravens if he scores Sunday. "I have something special, special, special for the city of Baltimore. Hopefully, I can get in the end zone so I can show you all what I've got in store." BEFORE RAVENS-BENGALS ON NOV. 6, 2005 "No one has broken up a pass or stopped any passes that have come my way. Therefore, no one has gotten that `Yes' check for stopping me. But it's fairly easy. All you have to do is stop me one time, and no one has done that."

NEW YORK -- We've debated their validity, their existence and their relevance. We've questioned them, manipulated them, dimpled them, dissed them, punctured them, impregnated them, punched them and then hung them. Why our sudden animosity? Where is our respect? If we are indeed a nation of protecting the innocent until they are proven guilty, why are we, like an angry impatient mob of schoolyard bullies, making scapegoats of them and trying to make them responsible for our country's division and inde- cision?

One year ago, I found myself fleeing a firefight out in the eastern deserts of Chad with Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner. Mr. Hosseini and I had traveled by World Food Program planes and Toyota truck for several days to meet with Darfur refugees who had found shelter in remote desert camps run by the U.N. High Commission for Refugees just across the Sudanese border. One day, rebels backed by the Sudanese regime in Khartoum attacked a camp we were in, and we had to run for our lives.

DJAWARA, Chad -- There was no time for grave markers. But around some of the dirt mounds, the victims' shoes were laid out neatly like slippers beside a bed. Wild animals had unearthed body parts and human bones from the hastily dug mass graves. As local elder Abdullah Aziz Ibrahim walked through the pasture, he held his breath against the stench. "They killed us one by one," he said. He stooped over the grave of one former neighbor to try to cover the man's exposed skull with branches and leaves.

NAIROBI, Kenya -- Thousands of frightened Chadians took advantage of a lull in fighting yesterday to flee N'Djamena when rebels withdrew from the capital after two days of heavy clashes with government troops. Officials, however, warned that battles probably were not over, and rebel leaders vowed to attack again. "Rebels still have a capability of fighting," said Capt. Christophe Prazuck, spokesman for the French Ministry of Defense, which has 1,900 troops deployed in the central African country and has evacuated nearly 1,000 foreigners.
