...Still, planning for some kind of military action is clearly under way. Earlier this year, Bush signed a supersecret intelligence "finding" that authorized further action to prepare for Saddam's ouster. Mindful of widespread concern that a post-Saddam Iraq could quickly be torn apart by ethnic violence and regional meddling, the White House is increasing its efforts to devise a workable replacement government...
...prices drop on Chávez’s ouster? (And rise once again when he was borne back to the presidential palace by a popular uprising Sunday?) The short answer is that Chavez has not hesitated in the past few years to kowtow to OPEC in keeping oil production down and prices high. The OPEC oil cartel—which includes Venezuela and rogue states such as Libya, Iraq and Iran—sets quotas for its member states to manipulate the market and keep oil revenues as high as possible.

...Shahnaz still wears the burka whenever she leaves the house.

But Western officials still must deal with one reality that is not easily disposed of: those Montenegrins who want independence, come what...
Genshaft hardly risks undergraduate riots. Although many students describe al-Arian as a popular teacher, 22 of U.S.F.'s 48 student senators voted to support his ouster (the rest abstained or didn't bother to show up). "The students are the ultimate consumers of the university, and they're more concerned about safety," says student senate president Sammy Kalmowicz, 23, a political-science major. Perhaps. But should Kalmowicz someday become a college professor, how safe will he feel, after the al-Arian firing, to speak his mind...
