...ready to contemplate a war in Iraq that no European government would welcome--imagine yourself on a little trip. In Washington, carved into the wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, are the names of 58,226 Americans who died in an unpopular war. Now, in your mind, fly to Belgium, where about the same number of names--54,896, to be exact--are written on the Menin Gate outside Ypres. But these are not the names of all who died in a whole war; they are not even the names of all who died on a single battlefield. They commemorate...

Even as the Convention discussed how to make the E.U. more democratic and efficient, critics denounced the decision to allow a 12-member Presidium, not the full 105-delegate meeting, to decide the agenda...
...year-end, digital radio will be available in 85% of the U.K. Several other countries, including Belgium, Germany and Portugal, also boast extensive digital coverage. But Germany is Europe's biggest market. The enormous Japanese manufacturers are unlikely to mass-produce receivers until there is sufficient consumer demand for the radios there. But the German market - dominated by regional stations - is confusing, because most digital coverage is concentrated in the south. To fuel national demand, Helwin Lesch, general manager of Bayern Digital Radio, a transmitter-network operator, admits that German broadcasters are borrowing marketing ideas from Britain...
