...Meeker, the war on terrorism has awakened a dormant activist spirit. She protested against the Vietnam War and marched against apartheid, but in recent years she has devoted her energies to raising her four children and teaching fourth grade in Brentwood, Tenn. After Sept. 11, disturbed by anti-Muslim sentiments voiced by her students, she assigned her class to make a quilt to send to the children of Afghanistan. The idea was so popular that Meeker quit her teaching job and founded Quilts for Peace, a nonprofit group that has sent 50 quilts to war zones around the world...
...early November, students throughout Iran have taken part in a series of rolling demonstrations to protest the death sentence imposed on Hashem Aghajari, a reformist professor who criticized the clergy's monopoly on interpreting the Koran in a speech given June 19.

It may have belonged to a deceased lover, or maybe not; one often wonders if Wolfgang Tillmans’ images are authentic or posed in such a way that they look authentic. It doesn’t seem to matter, however, as these objects represent details of anyone?...
...away. After a decade of the peace process, the I.R.A. does seem to be junior to Sinn Fein inside the republican movement. Most reputed I.R.A. leaders are now busy in elected office. But in spite of Adams' denials, and the symbolic destruction of some weapons, the I.R.A. is hardly dormant. To revive Stormont, unionists now require the I.R.A. to disband, a demand that republicans say is too much. The impasse looks so great that opponents of the agreement have already pronounced it dead. Months of negotiations loom, but both sides say they'll be there in the interests of peace...
