...states could step in. Sosenko would love to see Illinois politicians ride to his rescue--and at the very least require a panel of qualified medical experts, rather than one hired gun, to sign off on a suit before it can go forward. But he doesn't hold out much hope. Twice in the past two decades, the state legislature has passed caps on noneconomic jury awards only to have them struck down as unconstitutional by the state supreme court. (Courts in other states, including California, have upheld similar caps.) Many state politicians are more than happy to hand...
...veiled, men are kneeling at prayer time and teenagers aren't flirting. Al Watan reported that one of its own reporters had been detained merely for growing his hair too long. Another story alleged that the morals cops had arrested and beaten a woman just for accepting a car ride from a man she wasn't related to. After the May 12 terrorist attacks that killed 34 in Riyadh, Khashoggi ratcheted up his campaign, targeting religious hard-liners sympathetic to Islamist radicals.

...great effort." Nor do readers. The books "make a moral point about the importance of courtesy, of trying to keep traditional ways," he says. That - as well as the need to touch on topics such as aids - risks weighing the tales down. But his gentle prose eases the ride through Mma Ramotswe's world of moral crimes and social misdemeanors. "I'm fed up with gritty, in-your-face stuff," he says. "I don't like to read too much about the distressing aspects of life." Especially when it comes to Africa, McCall Smith tries to focus on the positive...
...first Middle East trip of his presidency closes, George W. Bush finds himself as deeply involved and committed to the politics of the region as any Arab or Israeli leader. In promising to "ride herd" on the Israelis and Palestinians to get them moving along his "roadmap" to peace, Bush has made his administration directly responsible for overseeing the day-to-day implementation and mediation of a new peace process that has aroused little optimism in the region. And he's taking on the role alongside the epic challenge of occupying and remaking Iraq...
