...blasted the "incompetence" of South Florida's Democratic elections supervisors; they in turn groused about insufficient funding and guidance from him. But a McBride victory might be a bigger headache for the President's brother than the voting snafus. "If McBride could catch Reno," frets one prominent Florida G.O.P. donor, "he can catch Bush." In a state where almost a quarter of the eligible voters are fence-sitting independents, centrist McBride spooks the Bush campaign far more than liberal Reno. If the 57-year-old decorated Vietnam veteran and fiscal conservative could indeed upset Bush--and the odds are still...
...North Korea. Standing in the doorway of the simple two-room home where she has lived for decades, Ri Yong Sun, 65, recalled how U.S. bombing during the Korean War destroyed fields and homes here.

Walking along the banks of the Taedong, I stopped to chat with a university student studying a computer science text on a park bench. Wearing a Kim Il Sung...

Now, with Tisch's refusal to commit to Gore, the former Veep may have more trouble than he ever imagined raising the $30 million-plus he will need to compete against a crowded--and to date well-financed--field of candidates in the Democratic primaries...
...debating whether to dig for the Buddha in an area covered by land mines. Some argue it is an important cultural relic that should be unearthed, but others fear that more Taliban-like fanatics could smash this Buddha as they did the others in March 2001. Scholars and donor countries working through the United Nations are discussing the broader goal of repairing Afghanistan's war-shattered culture, including rebuilding one of Bamiyan's destroyed Buddhas, which could cost up to $50 million. Excavating the reclining Buddha would cost a fraction of that. In the meantime, says Afghan archaeologist Zafar Paiman...
