...Johnson ran on a simple platform of ousting McKinney more than on the issues, and surprised her by getting 44% of the primary ballots to force the runoff. So big was the anti-McKinney sentiment that turnout Tuesday was actually larger than in the primary...
...gateway for Pilbara miners and North West Shelf gas-platform workers, we consult a friendly resident and get a pointer to the location. Back on the peninsula, we walk through tangled, prickly foliage and over jagged rocks. Laden with three cameras, Parker forges ahead alone, the din of Woodside's LNG plant and the whistling wind blocking out attempts at voice contact between us.

Prime Minister Ismail Haniya of Hamas agreed in June to a unified platform with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, of the secular P.L.O., that would implicitly recognize Israel if it would withdraw to its 1967 borders.

Boycotted financially and politically by the U.S. and the E.U., Haniya in late June hammered out an agreement with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on a unified platform that would implicitly recognize Israel if it would withdraw to its 1967 borders. Recognizing Israel, though, is anathema to Hamas' hard-liners, who believe that God gave all the lands of the Middle East to Muslims and that the Jewish state therefore is accursed. For those hard-liners, any moves toward...
