...Protection of Virtue and the Suppression of Vice. Back at the commission's local headquarters, events took a tragic turn: al-Huraisi died in custody, after allegedly being beaten. According to family lawyer Maher Al-Hamizi, the autopsy report said his skull was split open and an eye dislodged from its socket. Speaking to Time, the dead man's father, Mohammed al-Huraisi, a 73-year-old retired messenger, called for justice for the three commission members who he claims murdered his son. "I knew my son was dead due to the merciless beating," he says in a soft...
...thriving export industries, China has $1.4 trillion (and counting) in its pocket, and has to put it somewhere. For years, the investment of choice has been the drab solidity of U.S. Treasury bonds.

...Despite signs suggesting a cooling off, there are good reasons not to fear a housing market crash. By the time house prices tanked in the early 1990s on the back of a boom in previous years, interest rates had hit an eye-watering 15%, analysts at Bank of America point out in a recent note. That's a long way off today's level. And unemployment neared 10% in 1991, triggering record numbers of home repossessions. With today's jobless rate at 5.4%, comfortably below the level in Europe's other major economies, the labor market offers a good deal...
