...Washington and Dulles, the major highways cutting through it - has made it endlessly marketable to businesses despite the suburban gridlock. Unlike abandoned subdivisions and flailing inner cities, Tysons thrives (hence the traffic). The Hilton Corp. plans to move its headquarters here from Beverly Hills, Calif. Volkswagen and Gannett already call Tysons home. (See TIME's Pictures of the Week...

The unrest has sparked Kashmiri separatists' call for azadi - "freedom" - once again, recalling scenes from a decades-long insurgency that has claimed many thousands of lives. In the first weeks of June, the streets of Srinagar and elsewhere have been filled with hundreds of men and women demanding independence from Indian rule. Syed Ali Shah Geelani, 79, a longtime separatist known for his hard standpoint on the issue of Kashmir, was quick to seize on the incident to mobilize protesters for his cause. He was arrested along with other key voices...
