...Marrakech's Djamaa El-Fna square is home to a loud, colorful marketplace. Locals shop for herbs and fruit, while the snake charmer's pipes and the fortune-teller's call compete for the almighty tourist dollar. By night, though, the square is transformed into a smorgasbord of street food. A cloud of smoke hangs over endless rows of food stalls, each one grilling, boiling, frying or steaming some tasty morsel. Chefs in white aprons scoop, slice and serve like doctors trying to cure world hunger, one bowl of couscous at a time...

But Shi'ites are holding out for direct elections, and the Iraqi Governing Council suggests that...
...personal, some erected by a society content to let the federal minimum wage languish at $5.15 an hour. And that's for those who can avoid the unscrupulous bosses who make workers falsify their time sheets so they work longer hours for the same pay. Then there are the fruit pickers who have exorbitant housing costs deducted by labor contractors who warehouse the workers in filthy barracks. As for garment workers, they can be paid at piece rates--try three-fourths of a cent per piece to sew in a zipper on jeans--that make it nearly impossible to earn...
