...slipping. The more obstacles Mugabe throws in Tsvangirai's way - the latest came on July 13 when protesting ZANU supporters forced the postponement of a conference on constitutional reform - the more what the Prime Minister calls an "irreversible path of transition" begins to feel agonizingly never ending. On a recent tour of the U.S. and Europe, the Prime Minister picked up what the MDC says is $500 million in aid promises, a small fraction of the amount his Finance Minister, Tendai Biti, says Tsvangirai needs to revive the country.

Margaret Bailey, senior vice president at CHM Government Services, a consulting firm in Beverly, Mass., says parks are trying to move away from operating with money in their states' general-fund accounts. These catchall coffers have historically financed public spaces but in recent years have been decimated by legislatures redirecting much needed cash to fill other lines in their budgets.
