...Huang Lu knew it wouldn't be easy to find a job when she graduated from college last month. But when the 21-year-old from Anhui province in southeastern China started going to employment fairs and sending out résumés seven months ago, she didn't expect the job market would be quite so inhospitable. "I've had eight interviews so far," says Huang, an international-trade graduate of Anhui University of Finance & Economics, "but I still don't have a decent offer. And I just had an export-import company in Shanghai cancel an interview...
Before his tussle with the security services on Thursday, Tsvangirai had issued a statement vowing to stick with the discussions. "We knew negotiations would be difficult," he said.

And Tan knew just the way to do that - by keeping his teammates confident and deaf to the doubters. Texan Jonathan Horton, the team's best all-around gymnast who came a few tenths short of an all-around individual medal at last year's world championships in Stuttgart, acknowledges that he "gets...
...These were our own neighbors. We knew them!" says Khaduri, still amazed. "We don't know what to do. If I go back, I don't have a house. I don't have cows. Nothing." As we talk, another open truck piled high with the belongings of refugees, carpets, clothes and a TV trundled by on the road to Tbilisi. Even if the war is over for others, these refugees' struggle may only be beginning. They won't be returning to territory now controlled by Russian troops...
