Two TIME magazine journalists were wounded in Iraq yesterday, when a grenade was thrown into their Humvee. Senior correspondent Michael Weisskopf apparently picked up the grenade and threw it from the vehicle, losing his hand (!) and suffering shrapnel injuries, but likely saving the lives of everyone aboard. Unbelievable...and oddly similar to the plot of John Irving's "The Fourth Hand," minus the lion.
