...Union to look kindly on his jailers' application for membership to the 15-member economic and political community - an unusual action for a man who has spent 15 years fighting a vicious guerrilla war against Turkey. But the Kurdish rebel leader reaped the benefit Wednesday, when Turkey voted to delay his execution - a punishment handed down on grounds of treason - pending a hearing by the European Court of Human Rights. Turkey's signature on the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights requires the delay, and despite the strong domestic clamor for the execution of the man blamed...
...family members were sworn to secrecy and invited to crash-test it. "The first time I saw the site, I said to myself, 'Wow, this is it,'" recalls Shaw. It was simple, functional and wonderful. Kaphan's code was incredibly elegant and streamlined, allowing pages to be delivered without delay...

But the kids were so upset that they were not even sure which...
...behalf, to prevent him from returning home to his natural father, with whom he remains close. While the U.S. has urged Elian's father to make a formal claim with immigration authorities, legal challenges by the boy's relatives - backed by Cuban exile organizations - are likely to delay his early return. In what may be a reflection of the ironic symbiosis across the Florida Straits, it's been a tremendous propaganda boost both to Castro and the right-wing exiles in Miami. While most experts agree that U.S. courts will ultimately rule that a six-year-old boy should...
