Bush called the Vice President to get an update on the victim count as he flew to his airplane. "Dick, Daschle says there are thirty people," said Bush, "but Ari has other information.

Farras Khan Shinwari starts work early, before the sun has risen over the red plains of Karkhla, 15 km east of Peshawar in northwest Pakistan.

The hotel restaurant, and its nameless neighbor to the west, serve authentic spicy curries rather than the wimpish stews served by many tourist places...
