While Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki pursues the logic of security plans and national reconciliation, a different and deadly logic prevails on the streets of Baghdad. A rapid back-and-forth of Sunni-Shi'ite violence this weekend was an unusually vivid illustration of the cycle of sectarian massacre and counter-massacre that has accelerated in Iraq since the bombing of a Shi'ite shrine in February...
...gleaming shop floor--with American flags draped from the ceiling--in an assembly-line method, complete with a horn that blares every 23 min. to signal a move to a new station. Workers called waterspiders (named for the bugs that flit across the top of ponds) scurry back and forth to fetch tools and equipment for higher-skilled mechanics, who stay close to the humvees. Evans tracks the slightest delays. When an employee missed work for a family emergency last December and slowed the entire line, Evans realized that he had not cross-trained enough workers to fill...
...battle would be short. Election Day, Nov. 5, was only two months off when the Progressives went forth to proselytize.

But when you combine three IM accounts and multiple e-mail streams, topped off with unlimited text messaging, you won't have time to surf...
...author of some 20 plays, seven novels and several collections of poetry, he has also been an outspoken critic of Nigerian despots since the 1960s and mediated between indigenous people and oil companies in the Niger Delta. His latest work, a memoir, is titled You Must Set Forth at Dawn. Last week, he met Time's Andrew Purvis and Regine Wosnitza in Berlin. Why did you decide to write a new memoir and what have you learned from it? That is a good question. Certainly I did not want to write this memoir in the way it turned...
