...successes in bringing down the level of violence in Iraq, saying statistics showed that the weekly number of attacks in have dropped to their lowest levels since February of 2006 - just before sectarian war fully blossomed. According to the U.S. military, attacks of all kinds per week nationwide have fallen to roughly 575, down from a high of roughly 1,600 in June. Civilian deaths have fallen by 60% nationwide since then, too. In Baghdad, easily the most violent area of Iraq, a grim measure of the prevailing conditions comes in the count of bodies found daily on the streets...
...excitement didn't last. Since then, PetroChina shares have fallen by about 33%, resulting in significant losses for investors like Zhang Renfeng. A 63-year-old retiree, Zhang thought it was a no-brainer to buy into the big oil company. "All my friends were saying 'buy it,' so I thought, 'How could I lose?'" says the former schoolteacher, who sunk part of her life savings into stocks two years ago and often hangs out at a brokerage office near her home, watching the markets and playing cards with her friends. But her PetroChina play lost more than...
...days grow short. A cold wind stirs the fallen leaves, and some mornings the vineyards are daubed with frost. Yet all across France, life has begun anew: the 2007 harvest is in.

Autumn means many things in many countries, but in France...

Its ability to hold its ground while its fellow locally owned bookstores have fallen prey to corporate outsiders means that the bookstore is now Harvard Square’s premier independent center for all things literary.STEADY GROUNDIn January 2007, the Harvard University Planning Office conducted a survey to determine the Harvard community’s opinions on the Square?...
...idyllic autumn backdrop on the North Atlantic shore, a setting that Baumbach curiously doesn’t exploit as well as he might. The cast of “Margot at the Wedding” unsurprisingly succeeds. Leigh is the perfect fit for the flighty, post-hippie who has fallen for the kooky, humorously flawed Black. Pais fits well into the role of the well-balanced, understanding child, and helps to emphasize Baumbach’s vision that, sometimes, children are the sanest of us all. Kidman, who perhaps naturally identifies with her character, is strong. In the midst...
