...Toyota pickups. Nor is there a battle-tested Northern Alliance equivalent already in the field able to take and hold territory from Saddam's forces. And the Taliban had no access to chemical or biological weapons. Whatever their differences over tactics, Washington's factions agree that once the U.S. commits to battle in Iraq, it simply can't afford to fail. That means the U.S. would likely have to commit up to 250,000 U.S. troops to the fight...
...Guild interested Rodgers in a musical version of the rural drama "Green Grow the Lilacs." Offered the chance to write that would become "Oklahoma!", Hart sensibly said no thanks. (It's hard to imagine a less Hart-y show.) Did he think Rodgers would drop the project rather than commit professional adultery and go off for a Hammerstein fling? If so, he thought wrong.

Under NEPAD, in return for increased aid, trade access and debt relief, African governments will commit themselves to standards of good governance and democracy through a system of peer review. Without upholding these core principles, donors and business will be loath to invest. Yet translating governance buzzwords into reality requires considerable institutional capacity and the sort of political will hitherto lacking in Africa. Business and civil society have a key role to play in holding leadership to these promises, often made abroad but seldom kept at home, though their relationship...
