...After a gleeful hymn to "Jeee-susss," the Church of Melanesia's 60 Sunday schoolers bolt like whippets out of the starting box; it's playtime for the children of trainee Anglican priests and their wives. A smiling but intense Father Brown speaks about the scarcity experienced in rural areas during the tensions and the role of the Anglican Melanesian Brothers in making peace. "ramsi has started the process to get to a solution," he says. Across the country, people are amazingly resilient. They may still identify as Malaitans or Guadalcanalese, rather than as Solomon Islanders, but they're united...
...April 18, 2003, troops from the 101st Airborne Division stopped at al-Qaqaa on their way to Baghdad and entered some of the secured bunkers with bolt cutters, as documented by a camera crew from an ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, Minn.

"We don't like having the intrusion, but it works," Floyd says. Students initially objected, but now hardly notice the system. Asked to locate a corridor camera, a 13-year-old student fails to find it until another points upward. "I like it," he says. "It protects us." Protection...
...ready to reassert itself as the economic engine of Europe. The economy is growing again, albeit slowly. The heart of Berlin, cut in two for 28 years by the infamous Wall, is now a showplace. The DZ Bank with its magnificent vaulted roof, the Jewish Museum with its lightning-bolt shape and the Sony Center in Potsdamer Platz with its circus-tent glass roof are all signs of a country bouncing back...
