...forced withdrawal of aid agencies feeding and sheltering three million people displaced by the fighting. With the deadline approaching, the French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said he would fly to Khartoum to pressure Sudan's government to allow troops in; Kofi Annan declared that Sudan would bear full responsibility for the growing humanitarian crisis; and the A.U., which rarely criticizes its own, said Khartoum should relent.

...baby boy on the morning of Sept. 6, ensuring the survival of the Japanese imperial line for at least another generation, the entire country appeared to twinkle with joy.

They aren't allowed to have opinions, passports or even last names. Stifled by the IHA, Masako crumbled under the intense pressure to perform her single duty: to bear a male heir. In 2001, after one miscarriage, she finally bore Princess Aiko, who remains the couple's only child. Not long after the birth, Masako succumbed to a depression that many blamed on the intense pressure placed on her to produce a son. She withdrew from her official duties...
