...ever accept the Clemenceau. "It is a crime to allow asbestos [into India], and those doing so should be prosecuted," says Ramapati Kumar of Greenpeace India. "We will oppose the Clemenceau's entry to the last." The ship is banned from Indian waters until at least Feb. 13. The fate of the Clemenceau - doomed, perhaps, to sail the seas perpetually like a modern Flying Dutchman - has shed a harsh light on the practice of decommissioning ships. Older vessels, in particular, present a devil's brew of toxins, from asbestos insulation of engines and decks to pcbs, acids and heavy metals...
Listening just to the alarms of abortion-rights groups on the one hand and the cheers of opponents on the other, you could come away with the impression that the fate of Alito's nomination will determine whether abortion remains available in this country.

Palestinian sources also told TIME that Abbas was worried about his fate in the elections and exploded at a meeting of top aides last week, saying, "Where is my campaign? I need a campaign...
...kind that Israel visited upon Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981. What would happen next? Somehow or other, in all likelihood, others would seek to contain Iran, in the way that the Soviet Union was contained during the cold war. But if that was to be the fate of Iran, who would do the containing? To ask the question is to answer it. "There is an assumption," says Michael Mandelbaum, of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University in the U.S., "that if the Iranians got the bomb, Uncle Sam would contain them." There are certain...
