...defused the crisis with nimble diplomacy, opening up its facilities to inspection and allowing unannounced and more intrusive inspections of its nuclear sites. That's not enough for the Europeans, and particularly the Americans, who insist on Iran abandoning all enrichment activity and making do with low-grade reactor fuel imported from Europe. (The concern is that enrichment is a route to bomb material - low levels of enrichment make reactor fuel, but much higher levels can create bomb-grade material.) Iran rejects this offer, refusing to make its nuclear energy program dependent on the goodwill of outsiders. Tehran insists that...
...first the Lexus RX 400h looks like another road-hogging sport-utility vehicle?albeit one that's plusher than typical models. But because it draws power from two electric motors?in addition to a regular gas engine?the 400h is one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs. No wonder U.S. buyers have placed some 12,000 preorders for the car, which hits showrooms this month. TIME took a production model for a test drive to find out what all the buzz is about. ?By Anita Hamilton...

They say those same judges have also restricted freedom of religion by, for example, ordering the removal of a Ten Commandments monument from the grounds of the Alabama state supreme court.

Thus, Scarborough is spending most of his time these days working to beat back Democrats' attempts to block several of President Bush's judicial nominees. "It takes two-thirds of Congress, the President's signature and three-fourths of the states to change the Constitution...
...return to six-party negotiations with the U.S., South Korea, China, Japan and Russia on dismantling its nuclear program, and is sticking instead to its familiar diplomatic tactics of ambiguity and provocation. Last week, North Korea jangled nerves around the region again by announcing it had unloaded 8,000 fuel rods at its Yongbyon reactor?a step that would allow it to harvest more weapons-grade plutonium for a stockpile already estimated at up to eight weapons. The North lobbed a short-range missile into the Sea of Japan (or East Sea) earlier this month. And U.S. officials have been...
