...HANS ISLAND Denmark and Canada exchanged words in March over this 1.3-square-kilometer scrap of Arctic wasteland between Canada's Ellesmere Island and Greenland. Both sides are playing down the dispute, but Hans could be the tip of the iceberg: Canada will launch operation Narwhal, its largest-ever war games in the Arctic, this August as part of a long-term plan to reassert its sovereignty in the north...
...just might be the Martin Luther of the environmental movement. A statistician from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, Bjorn Lomborg examined the state of the world, using reputable sources and long series of data in his book The Skeptical Environmentalist, and found a surprising thing: by most measures the planet is getting healthier--less pollution, more forests, more food per head.

Grevil maintains that Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen received at least 10 reports before the start of the war suggesting the coalition was unlikely to discover...
...into this oh-so-terrible position, you ask? Well, Edward, the Crown Prince of Denmark (played by undeniably handsome unknown Luke Mably) has a Prince William-esque reputation for carousing and—evil-of-evils—drag racing. These habits—in this supposedly modern fairy tale—are all too often splashed across the front page of Denmark’s tabloids, earning him continual, serene, slaps on the wrist by his regal parents...
