...defender of rural Japan, promising subsidies and protectionism for farmers. That was a winning strategy - in the July 29 election, the DPJ swept the countryside, once an LDP stronghold - but it contradicts the beliefs of reform-oriented DPJ members. The party is riddled with such fractures, and many members resent Ozawa, who isn't nicknamed "The Destroyer" because he plays well with others. Ironically, the stress of coping with victory could tear the party apart as competing factions maneuver for newfound power. "I don't think the DPJ can survive this win," says Robert Feldman, chief Japan economist for Morgan...
...surprisingly, the Afghans resent their second-class citizenship but so far tolerate it - it's better than the savagery of the Taliban. On the other hand they wonder how long it's going to last. The insurgency - that's the word a briefer at NATO headquarters used instead of the Taliban or al-Qaeda - understands it needs to win over the hearts and minds of the average Afghan.

Are they tasty? Nutritious? Amid all of Cannes' other enticements-the good food, fine wines, gorgeous people-one is tempted to ask: Who cares? But the 12-day bash, which ends Sunday, has had some lovely tidbits-a wide range of art films with pizzazz, genre pieces...
Suspecting that I too would resent smaller portions, I decided to try them out. I made sure I was really hungry--not eating for at least six hours and working out right before I went. My wife and I ordered the cedar-seared salmon pasta and half a rack of baby back ribs from Friday's "Right Portion, Right Price" menu. Unlike Ruby Tuesday, Friday's and Cheesecake Factory are cutting prices along with meal size, so each dish was a few dollars cheaper than the larger entres. Though the protein was two-thirds the size of that...
