...three months later and its epicenter was just 190 km away from that of the first quake. But while the Dec. 26 earthquake ruptured the earth in a line that extended more than 1,100 km to the north of its epicenter, the force of the March 28 temblor broke in the opposite direction, rupturing a 400 km stretch of seafloor to the southeast. Because its energy spread in a new direction and because of its magnitude, last week's quake could be an independent event, albeit one that was heavily influenced by the Dec. 26 earthquake...
...late and I am about to miss the plane to Moscow that will carry me to Vientiane, Laos, and on to Hanoi. As I round a corner, I slip on the polished floor and down I go. I know immediately that I have refractured the foot I broke the previous year ... By the time we land in Moscow my foot is swollen and blue, and I know I must get it tended to.

"There was a huge, resounding no in me," says the Anchorman actress, who broke her right foot in a performance in Chicago last month. Three weeks of backstage drama followed.

But in three days of phone pleas to producer Barry Weissler, "I made him see how important it was that the show...
...million mostly poor acolytes, boosting native rites and symbols. But Rivera Carrera is no liberal; he has close ties to the Legionaries of Christ, a flourishing right-wing society of priests. He is sometimes a too-fierce defender of the faith: when the U.S. pedophile crisis broke, he saw it as a "campaign of media persecution against the entire Catholic church." Another archconservative is DARIO CARDINAL CASTRILLON HOYOS, 75, whose star is said to be fading but who nevertheless has a compelling personal history. Quite like John Paul, this man from Medellín, Colombia, has displayed courage, tenacity...
