...made the education of girls a priority. You yourself hold a law degree but no longer practice law. Do you feel any guilt about not putting your credentials to full use? A: I practiced law for about 16 years, so I feel I have paid my dues. The issue of girls' education is close to my heart. In developed countries, girls' education is about realizing ourselves. In other parts of the world, it is about survival - physical, economic and political. The recent AIDS conference at the U.N. reminded us that women and children disproportionately bear the burden of the disease...
...Falun Gong's list of members terrified it; included were retired Communist Party elders and military officers. So the crackdown, when it finally came three months after the huge demonstration, stretched from the top of the party's ranks to the remotest rice paddy.

German pilots flew missions during NATO's 1999 war in Kosovo, the first time its armed forces have taken part in offensive actions since 1945. Even in Britain, appeals to the spirit of 1940, which translate into a broad suspicion of Europe, seem to have less power than they once...
...execution had originally been scheduled for May 16, but it was delayed after the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed that it had failed to produce thousands of documents during McVeigh's trial. But an appeals court judge decided that the documents did not alter McVeigh's guilt, and ordered the execution to proceed...
