...strike pits some 1,500 members of the United Mine Workers against the A.T. Massey Coal Co. Violence has become almost monotonous. In the latest incident, a midnight explosion last week rocked the three-story brick district headquarters of the U.M.W. in Pikeville, Ky., incidentally shattering a huge portrait of the late union leader John L. Lewis that hung on the wall. The strike has produced one death, hundreds of injuries and more than a thousand episodes of rock throwing, smashed windshields and punctured tires. Gunfire has been commonplace. Snipers killed a nonunion coal-truck driver, Hayes West...
...just before midnight when, weary from four hours of intense debate, Homobono Adaza, an opposition member in the Batasan, the Filipino national assembly, made an impassioned final speech. "In the ultimate analysis, it is not the Batasan that will render judgment here," he told the members of the assembly's Committee on Justice, Human Rights and Good Government.

Each day, the interrogators seem to be trying to find those that work best. They promise better treatment; they show...
After the new measures are approved, the mood in al-Qahtani's interrogation booth changes dramatically. The interrogation sessions lengthen. The quizzing now starts at midnight, and when Detainee 063 dozes off, interrogators rouse him by dripping water on his head or playing Christina Aguilera music. According to the log, his handlers at one point perform a puppet show "satirizing the detainee's involvement with al-Qaeda." He is taken to a new interrogation booth, which is decorated with pictures of 9/11 victims, American flags and red lights. He has to stand for the playing of the U.S. national anthem...
...Kerry rally in Boston’s Copley Square, where drizzling skies and a chilly wind reflected an increasingly cloudy mood in the Democratic camp. Performances by the Black Eyed Peas and others briefly buoyed the crowd, but spirits dwindled as the night wore on. By midnight, a defeat was all but certain...
