...Anglicans in North America (cana) - flouting Communion rules about stealing other bishops' sheep. Last February, when top Anglican archbishops gathered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Akinola extracted major concessions despite initial deft handling by Williams. The gathering attached a strict deadline - Sept. 30 - to the usual cease-and-desist demands on the Americans, and added one more: that they arrange with the Communion for a "primatial vicar" to provide religious leadership for disgruntled conservatives, an idea the U.S. Episcopalians rejected almost instantly.

...Meanwhile, farmer Hebron says he won't be spooked by Michigan authorities. Back in business a week after his goods were seized, he's become a cause celebre of the raw movement.

...those meant bidding adi?s to the Ashes. Though the numbers don't suggest it, Ponting?at least at this stage of his tenure?isn't the leader Mark Taylor was. A statesman as well as a winner, Taylor had the edge in imagination: he knew when to desist with the orthodox and try the unexpected, and he stepped in when one of his bowlers was sending down rubbish, regardless of the bowler's name. Richie Benaud was the master of appearing assured even when the plane was in a nosedive, a knack Ponting rarely displayed in England. What...
