...Commuter rage gave way to relief this morning after labor mediators convinced striking New York City transit workers to return their jobs without a contract. That deal was reached on Thursday afternoon. Cursing the walkout had become a bloodsport for New Yorkers in the last three days, but at the 116th Street station in uptown Manhattan, the strike end brought a quick return to normalcy. Commuters streamed past the single station agent with barely a glance, while a couple of French tourists hovered nervously nearby before asking the agent for change for a $20. They were denied...
...collecting any money at all has been very problematic,” Sealing wrote in an e-mail.In the past, plaintiffs’ have attempted to claim foreign assets that have been frozen by the U.S. government as a source of payment under the FSIA, but debates rage about the appropriateness of distributing those funds.“Since 9/11 the United States and other countries have frozen millions of dollars of assets of countries designated State Sponsors of Terrorism, but many would argue that these assets are better retained for diplomatic leverage than to pay [punitive damages...
...Downfall We're in the bunker with Hitler and his toadies as, above ground, the remnants of The Third Reich crash in flames.

The mission has made paranoia, rage, and guilt permanent fixtures of Kauffman psyche, and he predicts a similar fate for his homeland if it makes vengeance state policy. In these last frames Spielberg makes the connection between Israel in September of 1972 and the United States in September of 2001 explicit: as Kauffman and his handler...
...roots of this rage can be found in place and time. The city's Sutherland Shire, where the troubles first occurred, is a close cousin of the O.C., 4,000 miles across the Pacific. The ?shire?, predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon, and insular, is unlike the rest of Sydney, which has for 60 years peacefully absorbed waves of immigrants from Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Each summer, the shire's surf beaches attract hordes of visitors from the immigrant, working-class suburbs of southwestern Sydney. Not all visitors are welcome. Some behave very badly. Policing has been...
