...continues for civilians prone to Janjaweed attack and for the 2.5 million people who have fled in fear for their lives and now make do in cramped huts built from sticks and straw in aid camps like the three arranged around the edge of El Fasher. An African Union (AU) force of 7,000 soldiers, police officers and cease-fire monitors has failed to stop the violence, but they've been good business for local merchants. The peacekeepers, after all, have cash to spend, as do the United Nations staffers, some of whom are paid daily allowances of more than...

In the meantime, for those who are concerned about phthalates in air fresheners, there are various ways to make the home smell better, au natural.

Other common ways to eliminate odors are to keep fresh coffee grounds on the counter (a trick of many a flight attendant); toss baking soda at the bottom of the trash can; and grind...
