...India. As the nation's business capital, Bombay is the crucible of India's hopes, drawing families like Afzad's, which came to the city's northern slum of Saki Nagar 15 years ago from a village hundreds of miles away in the interior. Ten people living in a two-bedroom shanty, they had television, electricity and a telephone, and a foothold in India's city of opportunity. "It was a good place," says 14-year-old Mohammed. "We stayed put here...
...military spokesman in Iraq said U.S. commanders largely agreed with the report and are following its recommendation to turn over the vetting of recruits to the Iraqis, who have postponed some training to redo background checks.

Throw in a wet bar and a shower massage...
...natural beauty, efficiency, food and architecture. Sydney is a place where visitors can sail a boat, swim in the harbor, smell the sea?and still do business. Will China's movie starlets want to be filmed against a background of smog? Will the new rich from China's interior, longing for a breath of fresh sea air, flock to a smelly city? An environment that should be one of Hong Kong's attractions is already driving business to Singapore, Sydney, even Tokyo...
