...date for dissolving the Coalition Provisional Authority and transferring sovereign political authority to an Iraqi interim government. But how such a government will be created has become an open question since the Shiites rejected the caucus plan, and as the Iraqi political equation becomes increasingly complicated by competing ethnic-political agendas, the Bush administration has looked to the UN to play a greater role in the political process...
...vast television revenue gives the Yankees a permanent advantage. If all the cities had the same amount of money, every year might be as exciting in a roll-of-the-dice way, but there would be no truth in it. America is a nation of vast economic, educational and ethnic disparities. The Yankees are the real America. Where else can whites, blacks, Asians and Hispanics play happily together except on a team worth $180 million? If I were an Inuit second baseman with a good on-base percentage, I'd get my resume to the Bronx as soon as possible...
...cover tattoos they believe will ward off cold and deflect enemy bullets. This apparition is part of the Shan State Army (S.S.A.), one of a handful of rebel outfits still fighting the Burmese government.

But that hasn't happened yet and, despite public pronouncements to the contrary...
...Arab-American Muslim who wears a headscarf, I am dismayed with Daniel B. Holoch’s comment, “One Nation, Secular and Indivisible” (Feb. 12). Holoch defines the Muslim girls who wear headscarves as “young French ethnic Arabs who do not adhere to fundamentalist Islam for cultural reasons” but as a means of composing a new identity at odds with the French republic. By describing those who wear headscarves as adhering to fundamentalist Islam, Holoch misses both the point of wearing the headscarf and the meaning...
