...London Verdict for Liquid Bombers Three of the eight men accused of plotting to blow up transatlantic commercial flights using liquid explosives hidden in plastic soft-drink bottles were found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, but the jury failed to reach verdicts on four of the men (one was acquitted of all charges)--and even on whether the cell had actually targeted aircraft. Prosecutors said the suspects' early arrests made it difficult to collect enough evidence to convince the jury of an imminent threat.

She says she has noticed a change in the way international books are sold online. The country of origin is now advertised instead of hidden, the way it was a few years ago. The listing usually includes a description of the book - soft or hard cover, printed in color or black-and-white - which helps her decide the best deal. She says that international book buying is still pretty rare on campus and that most students look...
