...intimate style of Shootback's young photographers has endured as they've grown older. During months of Kenya's post-election violence this year, their photographs conveyed an immediacy frequently lost in the news coverage. One of Mwelu's photographs shows flames leaping from the shacks during the fighting, while a pregnant woman races by in blue sandals. And James Njuguna - another of Shootback's original trainees - photographed a Mathare resident challenging a phalanx of riot police, with his camera facing the truncheons dead-on. As powerful as the images are, Shootback's most lasting impact has perhaps been...
Chinese have grown accustomed to seeing television footage of their Premier, Wen Jiabao, at the site of natural disasters. Often described as the human face of the country's huge bureaucracy, Wen is well known for being sympathetic to the plight of ordinary citizens. But many were still surprised at the speed with which Wen reacted to the news that a huge earthquake had struck the country's southwestern province of Sichuan on May 12.

Want to wreck the environment? Have a baby. Each bundle of joy gobbles up more of the planet's food, clogs garbage dumps with diapers, churns through plastic toys and winds up a gas-guzzling, resource-consuming grown-up like the rest of us. Still, babies are awfully cute. Given that most people still intend to procreate, what's an environmentally conscious parent...
...prices has hamstrung Beijing's response. Starting in December 2007, as public discontent about rising food prices in China grew, Beijing implemented a series of measures to reduce its grain exports. Among other things, it eliminated a 13% tax rebate on grain exports. Since a substantial portion of Chinese-grown rice and grains go to the North on commercial terms - Beijing's overall agricultural trade and aid to Pyongyang is an official state secret, so no one knows precisely how much - those policy changes hurt overall food supply in the North, and also helped continue to drive up food prices...
