...demand for a different type of reporting remains striking. Last fall, I attended a festival of international journalism organized by the magazine Internazionale, a weekly compilation of foreign news sources. Attendees overflowed the auditoriums, then sat in the piazzas to listen to the proceedings over loudspeakers. In an era of plunging circulation, sales of Internazionale grew 25% last year. "The people who stop buying papers aren't people who don't want information any more," says the title's editor in chief Giovanni De Mauro. "They're people looking for a different type of information." In Italy, at least, publishers...
That suggests a continuation of current policies such as the cooler relationship with Moscow established since the era of cozy amity between Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Vladimir Putin. Westerwelle argues that Germany needs to retain its nuclear power capabilities until it has built up alternative domestic energy supplies so it can break its reliance on Russian gas.

Allegedly dating to an era contemporaneous with Christ, the names were a tantalizing collation of potentially great significance: James was indeed the name of a New Testament personage known as the brother of Jesus, both ostensibly the sons of Joseph the carpenter, husband of Mary. If its dates were genuine, the burial box - or ossuary - could well be circumstantial evidence for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth...
