Sanctions such as travel bans on senior members of the party and government imposed by the European Union and the U.S. have had little effect. Mugabe has demonstrated time and again that he is prepared to destroy the country rather than give up power. South Africa, the big brother of the region, is the key to change. But President Thabo Mbeki has been afraid to touch Mugabe, who is still seen as a hero of the anti-apartheid struggle in southern Africa. Among the poor and landless in South...

NASA needs to reshuffle its cash to fund the larger project, or Congress—which two years ago asked NASA to come up with a comprehensive search-and-destroy plan—needs to boost the space agency’s budget accordingly. And NEO-spotting is still a long-term project. We can catalog all the dangerous asteroids in the next few decades, but comets are more troublesome, since they come shooting from the dark reaches of the outer solar system. We’d have substantially less warning?...
