...that proves true, it would be welcome news in Washington, where relations with France have been frigid since the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Kouchner has well-placed friends in the U.S., speaks fluent English and has been a visiting professor at Harvard University's School of Public Health. The rift with Washington is truly over, he says: "We are close allies, we are friends, and it must be so." He believes the schism has hurt France, marginalizing it in key areas. "We have to offer a new perspective in the Middle East," says Kouchner, who advocates bolstering support...
...capriciousness, a lawsuit now demands human accountability. On April 10, 2002, a fishing boat called the Radiant foundered in the North Atlantic. Its life craft capsized, and only one of six life jackets inflated properly, an official investigation revealed. One man died, while five others huddled for hours in frigid waters before a rescue helicopter saved them.

The plaintiffs, William Beedie and Shaun Downie, survived, but are demanding compensation for lost wages and psychological trauma...

The signs of deep Saudi anger and panic over how Washington has bungled Iraq have been surfacing for the last two months. In March King Abdallah hosted Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who in normal times is a man whose head Abdallah would prefer to lop off than talk to. Two weeks later, at an Arab summit, King Abdallah called the American presence in Iraq an "illegal occupation," the same description the Iranians use. In April, King Abdallah reportedly cancelled a visit...
...throwing down a tomahawk jam on the hoop in my backyard (even if I had to lower the hoop a few feet).Now that I’m at Harvard, where students face enormous pressure in an unpredictable environment, it’s comforting to know that in the frigid months of winter there will always be football on the weekend and in the impossibly fast-paced spring semester I can always count on finding a baseball game to lose myself in for a few hours.On a broader scale, sports are a unifying force that can provide common ground...
