Go down the nation's list of economic problems - from mortgage defaults to state-budget shortfalls - and joblessness lurks in the background.

You'll mostly find them in big cities, but Asheville, N.C., had its first kids' film festival last year, as did Nantucket, Mass., and San Joaquin, Calif. Providence...
...parallel stories of Zakir and Zaeef embody the complexities that exist within the Taliban. Their shared religious fervor may explain why - despite NATO's intention to extend its massive assault on Marjah into a sweep through the Taliban heartland in southern Afghanistan - it may take years to militarily defeat the Taliban...
