Germany and Japan have again gone to war, this time on the same side as Britain and the U.S. Iran, which long called America the Great Satan, is showing more signs than ever that it is on the road to reform, and can play a role in rebuilding neighboring Afghanistan.

...proclamations of innocence and the dismissal of the criminal case, where Jackson once drew adulation and love from the world, there was now revulsion. Jackson was no longer the King, he was the butt of countless jokes. While his fame still persisted around the world, he was a pariah in the land of his birth. In an effort to combat this, Jackson spent an unprecedented sum of money to force open the arms of the world to receive him again. 1995 saw the biggest publicity campaign ever mounted, Jackson’s deep-seated insecurities once again driving...
