That discomfort is certain to deepen as more working women find their career paths leading to a relocation. Women are still the "trailing spouse" in 94% of all job transfers that involve couples. But that is changing rapidly. By the end of the decade, almost a quarter of all transferees are expected to be + women, up from 5% just 10 years ago. Feelings of resentment, helplessness and dependency that have long plagued displaced working women promise to be harsher for men.

SYRIA. Damascus' support of Tehran during the Iran-Iraq war had virtually consigned Syria to the role of regional pariah.

A man caked in soot appeared, looking for his horse. As night began to deepen, the dark hills acquired necklaces of orange, and the sky around us was a locust-cloud of ashes. And, when we were told that it was the time to make a break for it, we finally raced down the mountain through a scene more beautiful and unreal than any Vietnam-movie fire fight...
