...Francisco Franco's National Catholicism in Spain, served to heighten the distrust Europeans felt for religion. After the 1960s and '70s, secularism had become a central part of the West European mind-set, so much so that even devoutly Christian leaders - like Britain's Tony Blair - were extraordinarily cautious about proclaiming their faith in the public square. Meanwhile, regular church attendance in Western Europe continued to plummet. By the late 1990s, only 15% of Europeans said that they attended a place of worship each week. Despite some last-minute lobbying by Poland, Italy and others, the draft...
...multiethnic country. But now the U.S. and other Western countries plan to hand over responsibility for Bosnia to a European Union representative, possibly with strictly limited powers, by next July.

After they relentlessly derided Senator Hillary Clinton as calculating, overly cautious and lacking true liberal bona fides, she hired an adviser just to deal with them and even demanded that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resign. Coincidence? Moderate Democrats say it with remorse, conservatives with glee, but the conventional wisdom is bipartisan: progressive bloggers are pushing the Democratic Party...
...training five hours a day for the past three months, and has reportedly been taking tips from punk rocker Alice Cooper and actor Verne "Mini Me" Troyer. Of the four remaining contestants, he is the only one expected to put up any sort of fight. Boll, however, is still cautious: "I have a few disadvantages," he says. "I have to do four fights in a row-that is super-exhausting. I cannot box 12 rounds. If I don?t knock some people out in the first rounds I will not survive the last fight...
