Republic's worldly concerns are reflected in the album's cover art, which juxtaposes two contradictory images. One half shows a handsome young couple frolicking on a sun-washed beach; the other, buildings burning in a hellish conflagration. This pairing could represent anything from an ecological warning to a meditation on the fleeting nature of happiness. Either way, it shows New Order is willing to raise issues that go a lot deeper than the next dance-club craze. The sustained, chillingly solitary note that ends the album is mitigated by Sumner's impassioned exhortation to feel. After years of mining...
Dazed refugees who arrived in Tuzla spoke of the hellish conditions of the journey, with as many as 180 people packed into trucks designed to carry sacks of food. Some admitted to bribing army commanders to get on; others fought for places, pushing aside those too weak to retaliate. A little boy who survived a fall from one of the trucks en route ran screaming alongside the roaring convoy until a Serb army major hoisted him back on board. "When you see the refugees you only have to imagine what it's like for the people inside," said Simon Mardel...
Then there are the scary subjects of baseball like fading team loyalty. I used to root for the hellish Mets just so we could meet them again in the World Series with a repentant Bill Bucknes at first.

The Governor and the cabinet commuted her sentence to five years served and put her on 15-years probation. The release was a victory for activist Candice Slaughter, who had pressed for the reform...
Somewhere between the heavenly promise of America and the hellish reality of Haiti lies a way station on the Cuban coast called Guantanamo Bay. There, at a U.S. naval base, more than 200 Haitians have languished in tin-roofed barracks for up to 17 months, surrounded by wire fences and plagued by banana rats. Last year the Bush Administration ruled that they had plausible claims for political asylum. But because most of them tested positive for the AIDS virus, they are barred from the U.S. Suspicious of their captors and even their doctors, many have staged a hunger strike...
