...Last week, her fortunes took a different turn when she became the first environmental campaigner - and the first African woman - to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. On Saturday, Maathai talked with TIME's Stephan Faris under a tree outside the offices of her Green Belt Movement in Nairobi. KOFI ANNAN, NELSON MANDELA, MOTHER TERESA, AND NOW YOU. HOW DOES IT FEEL? It is the kind of thing that I'm sure will sink in slowly. But right now, it's like a dream. When you are involved, you actually don't have time to evaluate the impact of your...
...word has done little more than set off a new round of bureaucratic shuffling. Some who recall the Holocaust and Rwanda don't believe Darfur measures up. U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan has said he will appoint a commission to investigate the charges. European ministers, who have been reluctant even to acknowledge ethnic cleansing, are scrambling to draft legal briefs.

The Iraq Survey Group is shortly expected to report formally that the weapons of mass destruction on which Blair based his case for war cannot be found. An eccentric but still damaging motion to impeach him for misleading Parliament over Iraq is making some waves...
...that the election would go ahead - although, he warned, it would be imperfect - despite the suggestion by "some" that security conditions for holding a credible election simply don't exist right now. "Some" may have been a reference to the likes of Senator John Kerry and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, but ironically the suggestion that elections might have to be postponed for security reasons had first been mooted by Allawi himself upon taking office at the end of June. Still, now the prime minister remains "on message," reiterating that the election will be held in January, come what...
