...enough to convince foreign buyers that the meat supply is free of mad cow. The Japanese, who paid dearly in lost sales and public confidence when they did not get tough on BSE until after a sick cow turned up in 2001, seem to be in no hurry to restart U.S. imports. Tokyo rebuffed an agricultural delegation from the U.S. last week and reportedly wants Washington to require mad-cow testing for all 35 million cattle killed in the U.S. each year--something David Hegwood, head of the American delegation, rejected.

...CYPRUS Turkish Cypriots inched closer to an agreement to reunite the island when veteran leader Rauf Denktash, who's resolutely opposed reunification, handed his rival Mehmet Ali Talat, who favors a deal, the task of forming a new government after last month's elections.

But there's still no land in sight the following afternoon when the motor stutters and dies. The boatman tries a few times to restart it and a few of the men fiddle with the thing, but it's no use. Women scream that they are doomed. A young Somali named Ismail prays to Allah for their survival. By the next night, Abdi Salan is praying too. Late on the fifth day, the Egyptian boatman...
...become the Winter of Iwata's Discontent. Nintendo has suffered such a string of bad news over the past few months and posted such disappointing financial results over the past few quarters that many investors, analysts and industry watchers are wondering whether the onetime industry giant can hit restart?or at least pause?in an increasingly competitive video-game industry. Not only is Nintendo struggling to keep pace with its larger, better-funded rivals?Sony and Microsoft?in the console business, but its Game Boy division, Nintendo's previously unassailable monopoly in handheld games, is suddenly facing a host...
