...Iraq war's third anniversary approached, the news fed both doubts and hopes. Saddam Hussein took the stand in his trial for the first time, reminding people of what they were missing. Meanwhile, the brand-new Iraqi parliament met in a capital under curfew to pull together some kind of future amid warnings of civil war. U.S. forces launched Operation Swarmer, the biggest air assault since the invasion, to root out insurgents north of Baghdad. President Bush embraced realism: "We will see more images of chaos and carnage in the days and months to come," he warned as he argued...
...They were laughing at him. A man of traditional views and settled habits, he is comically out of step with the new age. His children would rather watch television than heed his commands on deportment, and even the dog no longer takes him seriously. His wife, fed up with his aloof dignity, has a one-night fling with an American soldier. Determined to regain her affection, Shunsuke goes heavily into debt to build a modern, American-style house. That pile becomes a metaphor for the marriage and much else. The roof leaks. Plants die on the sunbaked veranda. And when...
...Just over an hour's drive from Mildura's sprinkler-fed lawns and orange groves, the Willandra is starkly arid. But it wasn't always so forbidding.

Investigators are also unsure where that cow, which was euthanized and buried after it fell sick, may have fed. This is crucial because the disease is believed to be spread in cattle feed carrying infected brain, bone or spinal tissue from other cows. Any cow that ate from the same troughs could be sick, too. According to research by New York biologist Michael Hansen, it takes less than a milligram...
...Bangkok people are divided into three groups. The first is anti-Thaksin, the second supports the government, and the third consists of people who are just bored and fed up with the situation and want it to go away. I don't approve of the government and the way it's running the country. But it's also difficult to support or agree with the street protesters. The issues they raise against the government aren't credible. They're just trying to get people angry and win support. It's not really democracy at all on the streets. They...
