...Jewish Refugees Museum is housed in one of the city's two remaining synagogues, the Ohel Moishe. The main building comprises the original worship area and displays of some fascinating memorabilia.

The first is a permanent display that takes visitors through Jewish history in Shanghai. Photos show Jewish girls holding Chinese dolls and families celebrating Passover. The second hall opened in June with an exhibit dedicated to Ho Fengshan, a diplomat known as the "Chinese Schindler...
Positive thinking is key to Housing First, which since 2000 has been the main innovation in President Bush's fight against homelessness.

More-extreme splinter groups have also sprung up, ranging from the militant to the simply depressed. "Give us Scrabulous or Give us Death!" has over 7,500 members and has issued a call to arms: "INVITE EVERY SCRABULOUS PLAYER YOU KNOW so we can get our voice heard! We know those Hasbro suits don't have hearts, but perhaps they have ears...
...bout of soul searching is also due for the longstanding main opposition Sam Rainsy Party, which, after a strong showing in the 2003 national election, only managed an increase of two seats, to 26, on July 27. Three smaller parties took a combined total of seven seats, though official results will not be released for at least another week. The day following the election, the Sam Rainsy Party and the three other parties held a joint news conference to announce their rejection of the preliminary results of the election, which they claimed was "rigged...
