...anything else. In fact, the two most important leaders - the rather flaccid local warlord who was named Hajji Lala, and the police chief, whose 40 cops were dedicated to the protection of Hajji Lala - were interested in one specific canal. Unfortunately, it was not the canal Ellis wanted to refurbish on the poorer, north side of town. It was on the south side. "O.K., let's walk down there and check it out," Ellis said...
...reach a START agreement, it will still require ratification in the U.S. Senate. And in a recent letter, 40 Republican Senators and independent Joe Lieberman suggested that they would not support the agreement unless Obama pledged to allocate money to "modernize" America's nuclear arsenal - that is to say, refurbish old warheads and potentially build new ones.

A coalition of international heritage organizations is petitioning UNESCO to intervene, but it's questionable how much the U.N. agency can do to circumvent China's development policies...
...counter to the concern that people who want a rebuilt car will not buy a new car is that dealerships are empty, as empty as graveyards at midnight. Offering to refurbish cars at a fair price will bring in a lot of customers. Most of those people will at least look at the new models. With $5,000 cash back and 0% financing for a decade, some of those customers will trade in what they have and leave with the latest model. Right now, those potential buyers won't set foot in a dealership. Once their warranties are up, they...
