...Arabic and confine their sermons to the mosque, Aa Gym is unique. The flamboyant 40-year-old spreads his message of self-control, personal morality, tolerance and faith with televangelistic theatrics. Although Islam is the granite base on which his message rests, Aa Gym's sermons tend to dwell on the practicalities of daily life rather than the hazy hereafter. His stock-in-trade includes greeting-card clichEs, self-help nostrums and pithy doses of advice on how to cope with the challenges of child rearing, on succeeding in business (his three-day management seminars, costing $200 a head...
...rest of us, the how-far-should-we-go-in-curbing-Saddam debate is just beginning to percolate. The choice isn't clean: questioning Bush's plans is not the same as calling for the continued survival of an odious regime. The President this week intends to dwell in ever more demonizing detail on "Saddam's evil bag of tricks," as an adviser put it. But most Americans already get that. What sometimes is lost in the debate is a clear-eyed analysis of the risks and benefits of going after Saddam. Here are seven questions worth considering...

This week prosecutors begin the second part of their case against Milosevic - for his responsibility in the ethnic cleansing of Bosnia and Croatia. In this phase of the trial, he is expected to dwell heavily on how Serbs are victims, not perpetrators, of the Balkan wars, a popular refrain at home. "Milosevic was politically dead before he was transferred to the Hague," says Dragoljub Zarkovic, a leading Belgrade editor. "The tribunal has given him the kiss of life." That is quite an achievement...
...twice the size of Texas, there are two and a half million residents—nearly a third of them huddled together in the capital city. To this day, nearly half the population consists of nomadic herders who keep goats, sheep, horses, yaks and camels for a living, and dwell in portable felt yurts, (ger in the local language) and move about the open range in search of pasture for their livestock. Infrastructure is simply nonexistent, with no paved roads, little in the way of electrification and old, unreliable phones only in the few village centers and gasoline rated...
