...Fears abound that the millions of young people who have never managed to land a full-time job might become a subclass permanently doomed to part-time work and paltry wages. "You have people competing for the diminishing number of good jobs, and a lot of kids just don't have the resources to compete," says Scott North, a sociologist at Osaka University. Those trends, he adds, may in turn worsen Japan's declining birthrate. "If you don't have stable employment, it'll be hard to get married, hard to raise children...

...Given bird flu fears and pure aesthetics, no one wants to see flocks of shiny black birds stiff on the sidewalk. But weakened birds will continue to die when temperatures dip and, if they land on a busy downtown boulevard, even in a city like Austin where bird lovers abound, they will spark yet another debate in the war on grackles that is being waged across the country and the methods being used to curb the grackle population. In order to discourage roosting, city administrators in Tempe, Ariz., tried lathering their downtown trees with a concord grape coating that made...
