At the request of Rupert Murdoch, the United States temporarily suspended all government & military operations today because the parents of 11-year-old Asheana Maihepat are so unhappy that her Queens school printed the "horrible picture" in her yearbook instead of one they wanted. They're demanding all copies be recalled. A teary-eyed Asheana said the episode has upset her so much that she has decided to skip graduation next week & join a convent. The family says anything less than a total recall is not good enough, reasoning that the yearbook is Asheana's legacy among all her classmates at PS 121. The family also reasoned that printing the photo on the front page of a major newspaper might solve the problem & placate the girl.
