...center of Sana'a, the Al-Saleh Mosque, a gleaming palace that can hold 40,000 worshippers, outshines every building in the area, perhaps in the country. The mosque cost at least $60 million to build, an unheard-of fortune in Yemeni currency, the rial. In stark contrast to the majesty of the mosque, impoverished Yemenis languish in a dusty beige slum across the street. Yemen's urban poor often live in makeshift homes built with found items like tarp, tires and rocks. There is never running water, and electricity comes from wires that are jerry-rigged to government power...
...know, however, that VS is the youngest category, which most connoisseurs skip (or relegate to the punch bowl). V.S.O.P., or Réserve, Cognacs contain spirits at least 41/2 years old. While this can be a pleasant category, for gifting you will want to upgrade to Napoléon, Impérial, Hors d'âge, Vieille Réserve, Vernerable or X.O.

...time the prosecution's reconstruction of the murders, based on blood types, a footprint, and threads from the doctor's pajama top, horrified grand jurors. Mac-Donald apparently had bludgeoned Colette and Kimberly and held two-year-old Kristen across his lap to stab her. At his rial delayed almost five years by appeals, he was found guilty of first-and second-degree murder. MacDonald is now serving three consecutive life terms in a Texas federal prison, where he furiously maintains his innocence...
