...been down this road before; violence is not new to the city. But the stakes are higher this time. The city's recovery is far from assured, and crime threatens to derail an already perilous rebuilding process. Thursday's march, with its broad mix of black and white, rich and poor, rising up to reclaim this beaten-down city, gave us catharsis; time will tell if it gives us anything more than that...
...Japanese militarism. But Abe has worked hard to improve relations with his neighbors-a fact reflected in their muted reaction. While Pyongyang, predictably, took Tokyo to task for "converting the Japanese islands into a 'war state,'" the Chinese Foreign Ministry merely expressed hope that the change would not derail Japan's "peaceful development."

Five games into a season full of promise, potential, and wonderful possibilities, a quarterback change took place. Granted, when 2005 starter Liam...
...recognizes the government in the south, so its laws do not apply in the north. Efforts since then by the E.U. to ease trade and travel restrictions on the north have borne little fruit. Now the standoff between the two sides of a U.N. buffer zone is threatening to derail crucial talks on Turkish accession to the Union. A report this week by the European Commission is expected to be sharply negative about Turkey's membership prospects, partly because Turkey has not agreed to open its ports to Greek Cypriot ships. If Turkey does not budge by December, E.U. officials...
