...summaries boasting only of U.S. successes. When asked why, the Air Force said in an official statement that there is a "need to review the way information is collected." But the sad reality is that so long as the war persists, Afghan civilians will be the ones paying the heaviest price...
...cell-phone owner to pay in advance for a decade's worth of minutes. But that equation will change as the cost of solar panels drops and the price of fossil-fuel-generated electricity rises. (Letvin's utility provider just put in for a 30% rate increase for the heaviest power users.) Photovoltaic solar installations were up 45% last year compared with 2006, with about a third of those systems going on residential roofs. And now solar companies and banks are helping homeowners stretch the cost over the lifetime of the panels, and sunny California is at the forefront...
...public view at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City: 291 paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics, put together by art historian Carolyn Lanchner. Miro got his first retrospective, at MOMA, more than half a century ago, and now he is getting the treatment reserved for the heaviest guns of 20th century art: Picasso in 1980, Matisse last year.

...teams squaring off on Nov. 1--England and a team of Caribbean All-Stars--are hardly big draws. The sport's heaviest hitters are in India and Pakistan, which have giant home markets and powerful teams.

With no Indians, Pakistanis or Australians on display in Antigua, it will be a bit like having the Minnesota Twins and the Pittsburgh Pirates play for baseball's largest purse: great for their fans, but who else would bother to watch...
...discriminates, perhaps most tellingly, by geography, with 16.5% of rural kids qualifying as obese, compared with 14.4% of urban kids, according to the 2003 National Survey of Children's Health. The poorest states of the South and Appalachia--Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Kentucky--have the heaviest children. Adult obesity levels triple when you cross north of 96th Street in Manhattan, leaving the mostly white and well-off Upper East Side for the predominantly minority, poorer neighborhood of Spanish Harlem. Even in trim Colorado, there are obesity hot zones...
