...bunch. On Monday, a new split was reported in the ranks of the hardline Islamic Justice and Equality Movement (J.E.M.) over who would represent them in Arusha. And even if they can agree a common platform, the Sudanese government still has to agree to meet them. Khartoum's preferred method of dealing with Darfuris can be guessed at by this week's announcement from the World Food Program that gunmen have attacked nine food convoys across Darfur in the last two weeks, as many as in the first five months of the year. Kenro Oshidari, the WFP's Sudan representative...

When the new suits roll out, each one will be tailored to the individual astronaut and slipped on like a snug wetsuit - a "second skin," says Newman. One kink she's still trying to work out: figuring...
...generation of Carnoustie golfers in the late 19th century happened upon the innovation by chance, then painstakingly improved it. It was a triumph of inductive reasoning over deductive, of scientific method over pure logic. Like the Enlightenment itself, this powerful new knowledge was destined to spread. Between 1898 and 1930, about 300 professional golfers left Carnoustie to teach the distinctive swing at clubs in North America - quite a feat for a town that then had a population of only...
