...brought electricity and streetlights to villages and attracted new business to Gujarat. To his detractors, Modi will always be the man who stoked the sectarian tensions that made the 2002 riots possible. The riots followed a train car fire that killed dozens of Hindu pilgrims. Within hours of the blaze, later blamed on a cooking fire accident, Modi called it a "pre-planned act" against Hindus that the "culprits will have to pay for" - a position he sticks to today. Whatever the truth, the carnage that followed was terrible. In 2004, following an investigation into the incident, India's Supreme...

France wanted to even the score; the U.S. wanted French money, supplies and military help. Together they beat Britain (there were more French soldiers than Americans at the battle of Yorktown). Their hardheaded transactions were sweetened by personal alliances. America's most important diplomat in Paris was the scientist and wit Benjamin Franklin, who became such a celebrity in France that his image...
...Fighting and Feeding The Flames Even when we try to be smart about fires, we often just make things worse. For more than a century, the U.S. Forest Service - the federal agency responsible for combating wildfires - has pursued a policy of stamping out blazes wherever they occur and doing so all the more aggressively as population grows in the endangered regions. For those accustomed to living in urban areas, that makes sense - the job of a city fire department is to stop blazes before they damage property.
