Passions don't shake out neatly along party lines. Republican John McCain wove frantically through last winter's debates trying to avoid the scarlet A-for-amnesty. His sin was promoting a "pathway to citizenship" for undocumented workers. Democrat Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, tripped on a debate question about driver's licenses for illegal aliens. Senator Barack Obama has stepped carefully with the issue, voting for the fence and for more agents on the border while saying that this covers "only one side of the equation...
...stop feeding Burundian refugees in Tanzania. WFP is sometimes a target of violence too. Darfur rations were cut by nearly half in May because too many trucks had been hijacked. Distribution was suspended briefly in Karamoja last year after cattle rustlers ambushed a convoy and shot dead the lead driver. The trucks, returning from a delivery, were all empty...
...away with nothing, as Hoffer practically waited until the German defense caught up. But in the 47th minute Ballack, the German captain, who had been none too impressive at that point, ended all hopes for Austria.

To keep drag as low as possible, for example, the three-wheeled car has no side-view mirrors--the driver has 180° rear visibility with the help of rear-mounted cameras. He estimates that today's computing power is so fast and so cheap that he can do "with three guys what a big company such as Boeing 10 years ago took a few hundred people...
Americans wincing over paying four dollars a gallon at the gas pump ought to meet John Gwat. The taxi driver in Cameroon's capital is paying six dollars a gallon, but in a country where the average monthly wage is about $180 - approximately one-tenth of the average American income. And like American consumers, there's precious little that Gwat and other taxi drivers here can do about the gas prices at the gas pumps. "At the end of the month about a quarter of the cars are just parked on the streets, because no one has the money...
