...Chadian rebels as a proxy army to take down the Déby government. French Defense Minister Hervé Morin put both of those elements together when he described the timing of the offensive as "directly linked" with the pending EU peacekeeping deployment, whose presence in Chad - although neutral - "was going to interfere with rebel plans...
...taxi going from Jakarta's airport into town after completing a tour of the U.S. as a student leader - a trip made possible through a program initiated by Suharto, Sukarno's successor. The streets were quiet and I asked the driver why. He replied in a neutral voice that Sukarno had just passed away.

Fifty years later, as Northern Ireland's Troubles were dawning, only 400 of the shipyard's 10,000 employees...
...Germany - further confirming that the mutation started with the Fry immigrants. (The researchers believe the genetic change either originated with George Fry or his wife, or that it began with a Fry in England, who died before passing it further.) "These mutations all start somewhere, most of them are neutral, some are beneficial, occasionally you get one that is harmful," says Deb Neklason, lead researcher of the study, published this month in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology...
