Other images show that the moving moons cause equally graceful formations within the rings by tugging on particles and causing them to pile up and thin out, pile up and thin out, rippling outward in what ring scientists call a density wave.

Similarly, both men hid a potent hedonism behind an intellectual facade. For all their outward differences, the two politicians stumbled into the two great sex scandals of the early Republic.

Drive around Baghdad, though, and you will see little outward sign of Western business at work yet--no McDonald's, Pizza Huts or Ford dealerships. "Who would be willing to come here?" Khesbak asks, laughing. "You have to be a little crazy...
