...Nevertheless, adaptation has implicitly emerged on the American agenda, thanks to Hurricane Katrina. The earth's weather system is too complex to pin blame for Katrina definitively on global warming. But unusually strong hurricanes like Katrina are exactly what scientists expect to see--along with fiercer heat waves, harsher droughts, heavier rains and rising sea levels--as global warming intensifies. If the nation is serious about rebuilding New Orleans and its neighbors, it must make them as resilient to global warming as possible. "We have to fight for New Orleans," says Beverly Wright, director of the Deep South Center...
...brink of a full-blown civil war; the Iraqi parliament - however ineffective - did not dissolve. During the hour-long press conference, Khalilzad, who has made an art of providing quotes so diplomatic and academic that they cannot be sound-bitten, hedged every statement with a well-chosen adjective.

Nevertheless, the squad features no ranked singles or doubles players. “We always had good success against Harvard while I was there,” Graham joked. “We’ll see what happens.” The Crimson take on UC Davis (9-7) Friday...
...There is, of course, skepticism about his motives, intimation that he is trying to buy popularity. "Not even Moses managed to escape this kind of criticism," he says. Nevertheless, Gaydamak's resume is hardly that of a saint. In 2000, France issued a warrant for Gaydamak's arrest, charging that he had contravened French law by engineering a deal that traded weapons, in exchange for oil, to an Angolan government then fighting a brutal civil war. (A year earlier, he had received a suspended sentence for tax evasion.) Gaydamak fled France to avoid arrest - even though he is a member...
