...would go to the Jewish enemy. "Now they mind less," he says. It's a straw in the wind; Israelis and Arabs are destined to live side by side, to share streets, markets, falafel--even blood. But only if they share Jerusalem more equally can it be less hellish...
...months, Maria Protou, an 18-year-old bleached-blonde philosophy student, was looking forward to her maiden trip to the ballot box this Sunday. But then, a Greek tragedy transpired. Hellish blazes tore through forests parched by two months of intense heat this August, destroying thousands of acres of farmland, killing at least 65 people, and throwing the government's reflexes - and political fortunes - into question.

...glimpse of the hellish conditions in which millions of Chinese miners work can be seen in the documentary Yuan Shan (Distant Mountain), by filmmaker Hu Jie. Although the film was made more than 10 years ago, industry observers say conditions have changed little in China's private mines. Shot in Qinghai province, near Tibet, the film shows miners working in tunnels so low that they crouch at the coal face, dressed in little more than loincloths. After they fill their quota, the miners have to turn and crawl hundreds of yards, pulling a basketful of coal twice their body weight...
