...historic Bethlehem, a small but vibrant city that feels biblical and modern at the same time. The main road is twisted and dusty, and the handsome buildings of white Jerusalem stone hold both fruit markets and Internet bars. The presumed birthplace of King David and Jesus of Nazareth, a flash point in the continuing and never-ending struggle between Israel and the Palestinians, and a city with an increasingly restive Muslim majority, Bethlehem was the perfect place to sit down and talk with Tony Blair about his new interfaith initiative and his personal odyssey of faith...

...cuddly polar bear has become global warming's favorite mascot. It's also become a political flash point: on one side, conservation groups say global warming threatens the bear by permanently damaging its Arctic habitat. On the other, conservative groups say the so-called plight of the polar bear is a gambit to intensify climate change hysteria. The battle flared up again last Monday, when a California federal district court judge ordered the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the Interior Department agency that evaluates endangered species, to decide on the polar bear by May 15 (a four-month extension...
