...from the Dominican Republic who has conducted the digs at Abusir for the past three years, told reporters that she wants "to be Cleopatra's lawyer," and prove there is much more to the ancient potentate than the work of two thousands years of Western male imagination. Debates still rage over everything from Cleopatra's identity - cranial scans of her half-sister's skull this year suggested she may be African, though her known lineage was Greek - to her looks. Close scrutiny of coin portraits have led some to believe that she was rather plain, a conclusion borne...
...storm of controversy continued to rage on Monday, after Royal revealed that she'd written to Spain's Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero to apologize for the "insulting" comments Sarkozy purportedly made about the Spanish leader last week. On April 16, French daily Libération reported that Sarkozy had described Zapatero as "not very clever" during lunch with a group of legislators the previous day.

...predecessor's "sunshine" policy, which showered economic benefits on Pyongyang with few strings attached. That has elicited hostile rhetoric from the North, and a few symbolic acts, like cutting off an inter-Korean military hotline that had been set up. The Japanese, for their part, have been in a rage ever since Kim conceded that North Korea had abducted several of their citizens in the 1970s to train as spies. While there is some relief in Japan that yesterday's rocket flight didn't drop dangerous debris onto the country, there is also disgust at the rocket's blatantly provocative...
