...cease-fire with the ailing Mobutu, the rebel leader is giving his troops quick marching orders toward the capital. As he attempts to get Mobutu to resign before the soldiers arrive, Bill Richardson began casting about for ways to ensure Kabila's cooperation. The U.N. ambassador headed to Botswana to meet with Ugandan President and Kabila mentor Yoweri Museveni, who may have the leverage over Kabila that Richardson lacks. Though their meeting ended without a handshake, Kabila and Mobutu agreed to meet again in ten days. It is unclear how that date would fit with Kabila's ultimatum...
...probably to intensive education programs targeted at the highest-risk groups; sadly, not everyone learned from this, as McFadden's piece and the elevated rates among heterosexuals indicate. The rest of the world has not been so lucky; new subtypes of HIV-1 in are erupting in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Thailand, spreading primarily among heterosexuals according to Monty Montano at the School of Public Health...

When Rogers finds such a hospitable environment, he gets very excited, parks his bike at the local exchange and buys a selection of stocks on the spot.

He likes New Zealand, which has cheap stocks and is starting to emerge from 10 years of depression...
...AFRICAN ELEPHANTS SIMILAR TO MINKE whales? Neither animal is in immediate danger of extinction, but both are protected by international hunting bans because past efforts to exploit the beasts commercially have driven their populations into precipitous decline. Countries that have well- managed elephant herds, including Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana, are eager to sell ivory, just as Norway and Japan want to kill whales. But conservationists are loath to exempt specific nations from the ivory-trade ban for fear that any traffic in tusks will bring a reprise of the rampant cheating that occurred before sales became illegal...
