...architect and artist, designed himself, part of an art school and gallery complex in central Tehran. Mousavi - who is not overwhelmingly charismatic, but seems every bit the artist-intellectual - strolled into a bare conference room, with little security and only a few aides, dressed in a dark suit and blue-striped shirt. He seemed to understand the questions posed in English, but he answered in Farsi...
President Barack Obama's pledge to shutter the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, moved a step forward on June 9, when the first detainee to face trial in a U.S. civilian court arrived in New York. Wearing blue prison garb, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani made a brief appearance in a crowded Manhattan courtroom, pleading not guilty to hundreds of charges related to the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa and his alleged al-Qaeda ties. Ghailani, a Tanzanian believed to be 35 years old, is accused of scouting the American embassy in Dar es Salaam...
Just after lunchtime on Friday back in Arlington, Deeds cheerfully ignored the rain while greeting voters at the Clarendon Metro Station.

When he's not updating his guides, Steves gives speeches, pens a newspaper column, hosts radio and television shows, runs group tours and does...
...typical evening stroll along Bangkok's bustling Sukhumvit Road, among the ramshackle stalls that line that tourist-magnet thoroughfare. I landed one knockoff Fred Perry polo shirt in navy blue and a pirated DVD copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Both purchases were mildly disappointing: the shirt, once I tried it on back at the hotel, appeared to have been made not from cotton but from itchy polyester - hardly ideal for the sticky Thai climate. The Hollywood blockbuster had been dubbed into Russian. I cursed the waste of 10 bucks on shoddy merchandise. By the following afternoon, this buyer...
