...that time by Domenico Giani, who heads the Vatican gendarmes, a private police force responsible for protecting the Pope. Giani, who is always within arm's length of the Pope, also helped wrestle away a mentally disturbed German man in 2007 who'd jumped on the Pope's open jeep he uses to circle St. Peter's Square before and after his weekly Wednesday General Audience...
...Chrysler has introduced only one new vehicle this fall, the Ram heavy truck, and the next new vehicle, the redesigned 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, won't appear until next spring. Facing a dearth of new products, Chrysler hands blame the company's previous owner, Cerberus Capital Management LLC, for slashing the product development budget in a failed bid to reach profitability.

Last year 1.2 million tourists visited the city; Rajasthan officials estimate tourism here jumped 10% last year. But when water levels drop so low that you can drive a jeep to the two hotels that are built in the middle of the lake - as they did as recently as July - so does the appeal of the destination. Deforestation around the lakes disrupts the flow of water, and waste dumping has caused "hot spots" that dry up underground water supplies...
