...sake, brewed in the southern city of Kochi, embodies the trend. Like many brands, its name evokes local flavor: Suigei was the pseudonym of a sake-loving, Edo-era lord and means "drunken whale." Though production has not increased much in its kura, built in 1872, Suigei has nevertheless increased its revenues 30% over the past decade by concentrating on quality sake. Shigeji Ishimoto, the brewery head, says top-grade daiginjo and ginjo sake account for 75% of Suigei's $6.3 million in sales, up from almost nothing when my grandfather bought it in 1968. Last year its daiginjo...
...promised adjustment to Shanghai's suspected SARS caseload hasn't materialized, a restive undercurrent has many beginning to wonder how a city of 16 million could be so lucky as to have just a handful of SARS patients. Residents aver that they aren't worried yet; nevertheless, face masks and vitamin C are in short supply. "I don't think anyone believes there are hundreds of cases being hidden here, like in Beijing," says a Shanghai respiratory-disease specialist who, along with other doctors in Shanghai, has been forbidden by the local propaganda department to talk with the foreign media...
...Nevertheless, local bureaucrats emphasize that SARS isn't a homegrown problem, reiterating that all of Shanghai's SARS cases to date have been "imported."

But that's a tautology: because local doctors are still following the old diagnostic standard, no one without an epilink can be designated as a suspected SARS case, much less a confirmed one. And proving that epilink...
Violence yesterday in Beit Hanoun occasioned by the Palestinian commemoration of “Naqba” (or ‘catastrophe’—the Palestinian term for the creation of Israel) is emblematic of how dire the situation has become in the region. Nevertheless, this new road map offered by a broad coalition is a positive step in moving toward peace. This movement has only been possible because Mahmoud shows promise of renewing a commitment to peace that wilted under Arafat. His promise to end the intifada and its attendant terrorism by either diplomacy or force...
...fairness to proponents of death sentences, these are usually carried out by lethal injection, perhaps the most physically humane method of killing ever devised (they even rub alcohol onto your skin before inserting the needle). Nevertheless, the Supreme Court’s decision to hear Banks’s case comes almost exactly five years to the day after the Texas execution of Joseph Cannon, a juvenile offender, which featured collapsing veins, a long delay and a second final statement. Twenty-three other improper applications of the lethal injection (out of 680) have taken place nationally since its first...
