...conflict erupted along an arc of crisis. American soldiers, high tech and supermodern, raced into battle in Afghanistan; in the West Bank and Kashmir, women grieved for their dead with gestures and cries as old as the ages. Innocents suffered, as always: bystanders killed by bombs in Israel; a journalist murdered for no reasons other than that he was an American, a Jew and a reporter. In the suburbs of Washington, a pair of snipers stalked their victims, hiding behind trees, tucked among the vehicles in a parking lot, rendering violence banal--but no less cruel than it was anywhere...

Hundreds died in riots last month after a Nigerian journalist suggested the Prophet Muhammad might have approved of the pageant and maybe even found a wife among the contestants.

She studied piano and percussion and only switched to singing when she scraped into the Vienna Music Academy by a narrow vote of the entrance panel. "I was the last one they admitted," she says, with...
...husband earns just $150 a month, and says he doesn't much care whether Aghajari is hung or not. "Ordinary people don't want to pay a high price to change the political situation; they have already been through the revolutionary experience," says Hamid Reza Jalaipour, a reformist journalist who spent a month in prison in 2000 after attending a conference on Iran in Berlin. According to Jalaipour, the students and reformists in parliament share the idea that reform should be gradual. "The target of a revolution is usually the collapse of the political system," Jalaipour says. "In this case...
