Crime forced many businesses to flee to safer suburbs; even the stock exchange moved out. But over the past few years the government and business groups have begun redeveloping the city, and visitors are starting to come back. One big success is Newtown, long...

The District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority used to test both first draw (the first water out of the tap) and 5-min. draw (the water that comes out 5 min. later) and advised consumers to flush the tap for 1 min.

A senior U.S. military official told TIME that U.S. forces will soon mount a spring offensive of their own, in the tribal areas along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The goal is to flush out bin Laden from his lair and capture or kill him. The U.S. is not expected to openly announce the true intent of the offensive, which will focus on an area stretching from Jalalabad, near Afghanistan's eastern border, to Kandahar, a former Taliban stronghold in the south.
