...Glendale, one of a handful of EV dealers in the region. He doesn't worry about the cost of charging up at home either. The Zenn has an on-board charger and plugs into his standard 110-volt socket, which Kaufmann compares to plugging in a cell phone. Others claim it draws more like a dehumidifier. Still, says Kaufman, "I don't even notice it on my electric bill...
...admittedly, compared with the epithets he's thrown at Yanqui Presidents in the past, but it indicated the still narrow limits of U.S.-Venezuelan bonhomie. But Chávez is still going after the U.S. on his hours-long Sunday television show, Alo Presidente! (This week he repeated his claim that the CIA was somehow involved in the Honduran coup and warned Obama not to try to "trick us with ambiguous discourse or a smile.") And in Washington, even as she was aiding Zelaya's cause last week, Clinton sat down for an interview with Globovisión, an intensely...
...disrespect to the young Robson - it's great to have anything published as an intern.

(See pictures of violence to intimidate Iranians...
...presidential election campaign, not least because two of the key challengers to Ahmadinejad, Mehdi Karroubi (a Lor) and Mir-Hossein Mousavi (an Azeri) are from minority communities. The two campaigned in minority areas to an unprecedented degree, and their strong support at campaign events outside Tehran belies the government claim that opposition demonstrators represent an urban élite out of touch with the pro-Ahmadinejad countryside. But since the election, little has been heard from the provinces, besides reports of clashes in Iranian Kurdistan. The Western press has been restricted to minimal coverage from Tehran, and the Iranian government...
