...PAPUA NEW GUINEA Army Mutiny Rebel soldiers in Papua New Guinea ended a week-long mutiny over army reform. Thousands of soldiers and students held demonstrations in the capital, Port Moresby, after Prime Minister Mekere Morautu initially refused to meet with the rebels.

The waning of their own authority may make the top brass more sympathetic to Wiranto's own plight, while...
...should date people who have never heard of her--ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews who don't watch TV, tribesmen in Papua New Guinea. She should put her energies into impressing one guy instead of 240 million Americans. She should not be afraid to be vulnerable. That sign of humanity is what will...
