...Democracy won't come overnight," says Mohammed Moaddab, 27, a graduate student in international affairs who voted twice for Khatami but is supporting Rafsanjani. "We need realism." That may not satisfy idealists in Tehran or Washington. But with Rafsanjani as President, that may be the most they can expect. --With reporting by Matthew Cooper and Elaine Shannon/ Washington, Bruce Crumley/Paris and J.F.O. McAllister/London
...Kwazulu-Natal province's 10,000-hectare Amazulu Game Reserve, is offering frog-tracking safaris to find them (tel: [27-034] 414 1157; www.amakhosi.com). Frog watching can involve three-hour sessions of nocturnal wading; a headlamp leaves your hands free for holding a net and a guidebook. Expect to see up to 12 species a night, from the sharp-nosed grass frog, which holds the world record for longest amphibian jump, to the foam-nest frog, which lays its eggs in - you guessed it - a foam nest. The reserve is home to over Loh and Behold Avant-garde murals...

(One study found that Los Angeles homeowners expect their home values to grow 22% every year for a decade.) Meanwhile, promiscuous lenders are throwing money at buyers like beads during Mardi Gras. "Anybody who can crawl in off the street can get a loan with 0% down at three or four times their income," Leamer says...
...Still, Waho is optimistic. "With 30,000-plus learners of te reo, there's going to be an explosion of interchange between the languages," he says. "Maybe that 1,000-word vocab will also explode." Does Macalister expect his list to grow? "For sure." Non-Maori people still have a lot to learn about te reo, he says, but "it's exciting - it's a journey we're on." As the popular English-Maori phrase goes, everything's kapai (good). With luck and a little aroha, both languages will still be saying that many years from...
