...needs of Boulder, where police spend as much time seeking bicycle thieves as hunting for more hardened criminals. JonBenet's murder was the only one in 1996. But, say critics, Koby should have realized early that his troops were in need of outside help. Instead, he seemed to resent the idea that anyone outside Boulder should even take an interest in the case. In a January appearance on local TV, he scolded the rest of the country for "sick curiosity." Since then he has had almost nothing to say publicly. Last week he agreed to an interview with TIME...
From the start, al Fayed has portrayed himself as the victim of English arrogance, xenophobia and racism. Elites, he contends, resent him for owning Harrods. "It sticks in their throats," he told the Times. But the Fayeds have also inflicted much damage on themselves, starting with their unsuccessful attempts to rewrite their history. In 1985 the largely unknown Fayed brothers paid $689 million in cash for the House of Fraser retail chain (whose flagship was Harrods). Two years later, the Department of Trade and Industry--at the instigation of al Fayed's chief rival for control of Harrods--began investigating...
During this generation's short life-span, Mexico has become more open to outside influences than ever before--thanks in large part to NAFTA.

...miners are scornful of that kind of work. "These are proud people, and they've been paid well," says Tucker County Commissioner Jerry DiBacco. "They really resent the prospect of having to slave away for tourists who still have good jobs." Until that day comes, miners can be found idling away the hours at the Italian Supper Club in the sleepy town of Thomas, nursing far-fetched hopes that better times will return, even if the mines...
...workers like Liang look back with misguided longing to the days of Mao for their salvation. If they had their choice, they'd retreat to 1955 rather than grapple with today's complicated reforms. "We respect Mao, not Deng," says Liang. "Deng forgot about us." The people of Shenyang resent the way the city has been left behind by the capitalist advances in Shanghai and Guangzhou. At Liang's old workplace, his friends sit around all day grousing, drinking tea and reading the papers until the shift whistle blows. "We call it the nonworking day," he says. "The managers...
