...inform citizens of the facts as objectively as possible, then today's media are failing. We citizens don't want "enlightened" journalists presenting opinions as news, ignoring facts that don't serve their biases, and generally trying to manipulate our views. The media's liberal bias is a bigger problem than just their favoring Obama over McCain. It infects coverage of all significant issues. Michael V. Lurski, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania...
...Africa are now grown elsewhere. Coffee came from Ethiopia; Vietnam now grows more than all Africa. Palm oil was originally exported from West Africa to the industries of Europe; today Indonesia is a major producer and Nigeria a major importer. Often, donors are scrambling to make up ever bigger shortfalls in ever more desperate circumstances. The World Food Programme says emergency food aid rose from $258.1 million in 1989 to $2.8 billion in 2003. The OECD adds humanitarian disasters are becoming "more frequent, more severe and longer...
There's something to be said for moving up the decision, given the competition from the McCainines. An AP--Yahoo News poll in June found that pet owners favor John McCain over Obama, 42% to 37%, with an even bigger edge among dog owners.

That may be inevitable in any such large organization. With some 31,500 officers, 14,000 administrators and more than 4,000 police community service officers serving a population of 7.5 million, the Met has never been bigger - a factor Blair says has been pivotal in achieving the recent reductions in crime. Its nearest equivalent, the NYPD, has some 38,000 officers to police New York City's population of 8.2 million. The numbers are close, but Blair says his officers have to do more and cover more ground than their American colleagues: "Our disadvantage is that...
...revenues is considered the world's leading biometric-security company. It is Cross Match's only U.S. rival for sales of the high-resolution, forensic-quality live-scan machines, which capture fingerprints with inkless optical-scanning technology and transmit them to central databases. While Identix's scanners are bigger and pricier than most of the smaller company's comparable products, the two firms compete directly for deals that require machines for a desktop or larger. Earlier this month Identix further expanded, acquiring DeLean Vision Worldwide, a developer of skin-texture biometrics...
