...fast, given that religious extremism and aversion to the West is so entrenched in the culture you are trying to alter? -Mohammad Shamsuzzaman in San Bernardino, Calif. I don't necessarily agree with your assumption. Extremism is not endemic in my region, nor is anti-Western sentiment. No doubt there is discontent and distrust.

"My hair was spiked and blonde when I arrived, then red, then bright red, then bright blond, then black, then maroon," she says. "I just got it done in Dubai, and now it's long and red."

Says longtime friend Joel Peterson, founder of a Salt Lake City equity firm: "He knew that they would never come up for a vote, so he took it off the table. Does that sound politically expedient?

...across the continent - quickly moved to the center of the Pope's arrival in Latin America. "Life is a gift. Life is not a threat," Benedict said on the plane. "The roots of this legislation lie in a certain selfishness on one hand and on the other hand a doubt about the value of life, about the beauty of life and also a doubt about the future. The Church must respond above all to these doubts."
