...Police on point duty manned four major intersections in the CBD, and one or two others were manned for brief periods by public-minded citizens who did not mind getting soaked. Police later reported that, contrary to all expectations, gridlock had not ensued. There was no serious congestion and fewer accidents than usual. Most commuters reported that while they had driven more slowly than usual, their traveling time was shorter. While this does back up Monderman's theory, I cynically suspect that if we did away with traffic lights, speed would gradually increase and courtesy and care would...

Bush and Al Gore were two sides of the same coin in an election ultimately decided by fewer people than it takes to fill a large movie theater will not disappear anytime soon.

...Crimson effort with 5.12m and 4.44m jumps for eighth and 17th place finishes, respectively.

In short, the development of India’s economy is more important right now than a relatively small environmental threat like the Nano. Tata has reached its goal...
...chappals’ (open foot shoes) and poor equipment. If even a small portion of the U.S. aid were spent on weapons upgrades, bullet proof jackets, reconnaissance devices and training, the results would have been much better. The Pakistan Army would have performed better: more terrorists caught, fewer casualties and more leads to Osama bin Laden. Over the past eight years, Pakistan has received $11 billion from the U.S. in direct aid for fighting terrorism, billions from other countries for curbing extremism and development projects, and access to secret intelligence. In response to this, Musharraf has been repeatedly diverting funds...
