...exhibition was a let down - two floors of display cases filled with fashion paraphernalia that managed to make MoCA look like a slightly funky trade pavilion (albeit one attended by people like Christina Ricci, spotted gazing into a shoe cabinet). On the other hand, that evening's show of Ferragamo's 2008 fall/winter collection was a stunning triumph. It started an appalling hour and half late, but once it was underway the brand's design team deftly demonstrated the remarkable evolution of its wares in recent years. Models sported modernist, layered basics in somber tones of black, white, navy...
Sadr has proven increasingly adept at politics. Last summer, he ordered his hand-picked ministers out of Maliki's cabinet after the Prime Minister refused to demand a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops.

The Japanese Cabinet Office, which handles issues related to the weapons, declined to estimate the number, but Japanese officials have previously said there were at least 700,000. According to the Japanese government's Abandoned Chemical Weapons Office, most of the weapons are in northeastern China, but some have been found as far south as Guangdong Province. Buried in fields and submerged in streams by the defeated Japanese Imperial Army in 1945, they...
...Organization spokesperson, Japan has reported "no foreseen delays" to meeting its cleanup deadline. But Japan's record does not leave critics confident: The current 2012 deadline is an extension granted after Japan missed its initial deadline of 2007. Key disposal facilities have yet to be built, and Cabinet Office officials declined to say how they would find a replacement firm to take over where ACWDC left...
