...Ireland changed since you left it for the Vatican 30 years ago? It used to be that Irish society as such was a vehicle for passing on religious values. [In the meantime,] there's been a broad secularization - but it's an Irish secularization. People haven't rejected religion; they've rejected certain aspects. Is that a bad thing? It's the reality, whether good or bad. So you don't disapprove? Secularization can create a culture of self-centeredness, where everything is measurable, packageable, you buy your single-portion meal and go eat it at home alone. Here...
...reforms that include paying off the country's debt and tackling corruption. To Obasanjo's fans, a change of leadership - particularly to Vice President Atiku Abubakar - would threaten any progress. But many of the President's former supporters now accuse him of mismanagement and dictatorial tendencies - charges his allies reject. Changing the constitution will only fuel instability, say critics.

"It's hard to convince a kid or even entire families making twice or three times as much as they would working legitimate jobs to reject dealers." That's why in Epinay-sur-Seine, a suburb to the north of Paris, reform means cracking down on dealers. Jean-Michel Genestier, chief of staff to the mayor, says, "Each time there's been any letup in police pressure on dealing, we've seen related crime and general insecurity...
...specifics. There was no mention of restoring Parliament, suspended for four years, of making changes to the constitution to prevent him seizing power again, or of surrendering command of the powerful army-demands that his political opponents had been making for months. The response of the parties was to reject the King's offer and to call for more peaceful protests. The mood on the street was just as unbending. To many Nepalese, the King appeared arrogant and cold-hearted-he said nothing about protesters who had died, and even praised the security forces for dealing effectively with demonstrators...
