...lanes have been linked to the system. The people of Orangi can now see for themselves the difference between the neat lanes in the project and the garbage-strewn open sewers of neighboring alleys. Hameed Khan's programs, particularly initiatives to improve the role of women, have stirred some fundamentalist mullahs in this Islamic country to call for his death, but the 78-year-old social activist resolutely continues his efforts to make Karachi more livable...
Each attempt to find a solution to the exiles' predicament -- or at least to provide them temporary relief -- was going nowhere. France offered to dispatch doctors to check the health of the men, who were deported for allegedly inciting Muslim fundamentalist violence. Both Israel and Lebanon, which refuses to absorb the exiles, said no. Israel said it would let the Red Cross ferry relief supplies to the group through Israeli-controlled southern Lebanon if the Lebanese would permit a simultaneous shipment through their territory. Beirut said no. Visiting U.N. Under Secretary-General James Jonah wasn't even allowed...

The expulsions were in retaliation for the shooting of four Israeli soldiers and the Hamas' kidnap-murder of a border policeman. In the Gaza Strip, at weekend demonstrations to protest the expulsions, six Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli troops...
...from America's Protestant creationists, who still insist that life on earth was created about 10,000 years ago and that a Flood engulfed the entire planet. In recent decades, creationists promoted their own brand of science and even persuaded a few state legislatures to decree that schools give Fundamentalist theories equal time with Darwin's evolution. Those laws were eventually struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court...
