...citizens is disgusting. The courageous Gaza settlers deserve kudos for resolutely staying on in the face of immense hostility. Those poor souls have paid for their right of abode with their families' lives, blood and honor. How can Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ignore their sacrifices in such a brutal manner? What is the point of the existence of the state of Israel when it displaces and harasses its own? Vivek Sharma Herrenberg, Germany The evacuation of Gaza settlers brings into focus a defining phenomenon of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 30 years, the Israeli settlers built thriving agricultural enterprises...
...this time a crucial consolation was missing. After 9/11, whatever the evidence of intelligence failures, many people still saw that attack as almost unimaginable, so brutal and brazen an assault.

But recently one of America's most embattled corporations has found an ally in one of America's most embattled demographics. No longer content to let its profits do the talking, Wal-Mart is trying to remake its image, in some measure with the aid of inner-city African Americans. The math is simple: Wal-Mart...
...nine months. The museum is also testament to the massive medical advances of the past 300 years. The Silver and Steel Gallery juxtaposes clunky antique surgical tools with the sleek instruments used in operating theaters today. Be grateful that the 18th century skull-trepanning brace-and-bit and the brutal mid-19th century "tumor snare" are safely relegated to a blood-spattered past. tel: (44-20) 7869 6560; www.rcseng.ac.uk/services/museums
