...Qutob London It may not be enough for Muslims in London to launch mass protests against the bombings. They should actively participate in community activities and ensure that those who have lost faith in the Koran and in Islam as a peace-loving way of life return to the fold and follow the path of peace. Edward Haeems Maninagar, India No War Connection? In his viewpoint "Why Iraq Has Made Us Less Safe ..." Daniel Benjamin pinned the cause of the London bombings on the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq [July 18]. His thesis, however, doesn't explain the motives behind...
Jahn embraces the technology of high-rise modernism, but he loves to fold glass curtain walls into more or less old-fashioned building shapes, monumental moderne. His recent designs are plainly derivative of skyscrapers from the Golden Age. The Television City office tower, for instance, is a nice-looking relative of the General Electric building in New York City (1931) and the Tribune Tower in Chicago (1925); the three slabs just south of the 150-story spire are like slightly squished Empire States.

Like many other computer converts, Buckley has drawn a number of his friends into the fold, and the roster of his recruits reads like a literary Who's Who.

The world's largest cargo line (1985 revenues: $1.1 billion) may fold unless the labor unions that represent 2,790 of its 6,334 employees grant major wage and benefit concessions. Since 1983 the Los Angeles-based carrier has lost $95 million in price wars with competitors like Japan's Nippon Cargo Airlines...
...position could certainly change. In the past six months, a series of rows with Japan have reminded Asians that the two giants, with a bitter shared history, have never been at ease with each other. Even more potentially worrisome is China's determination to bring Taiwan back into the fold. The island to which defeated Nationalist forces retreated at the end of the civil war in 1949 is now a thriving, culturally rich democracy--the freest society that Chinese people have known in their long history. But to Beijing, Taiwan's status is a constant memory of the years...
