Tony Lake can seem shy and self-effacing on the outside, but he is fiercely competitive. To get to his day job as a professor at Georgetown University, he rides on a 49.9cc Taiwanese motor scooter, wearing a gray suit, a tie, a black molded helmet and sunglasses. Pegged as an idealist, Lake has big strategies for counterterrorism and international development that have meshed naturally with Obama's belief that the Iraq invasion was an inadequate cold war--style response to 21st century problems like poverty, insecure borders and weapons proliferation. To get Obama ready for a presidential...

Kenyan luxury-safari group Governors' Camp, www.governorscamp.com, released their dollar rates back in March for visits through the end of 2008, including stays at their new gorilla-spotting and trekking lodge in Rwanda.

The planned vehicle is called the "One-Lakh Car" because, Tata says, the rear-engine, 600-cc, four-door sedan will cost a lakh, or 100,000 rupees. At current exchange rates, the sticker price would be the equivalent of about $2,500. That's $3,000 less than India's current cheapest new car and on a par with the costliest motorbikes...
...train, the firefighters take 240 hours of first-aid education as well as a two-week course on motorcycle skills and maintenance. They must be as skilled at using a defibrillator as riding their 400-cc Honda Falcons up and down flights of steps, but in conversation they stress that their job is meant to evaluate and stabilize emergency situations before full paramedics arrive, not to replace them altogether. "The advantage of getting there first is that we can do triage," says Mauricio Rodrigues, a moto-medic for the past six years. "We make a quick and rational analysis...
