...tension rose even higher when America came under attack not just from enemies but from old friends. Friday's stormy U.N. session showed the depth of official foreign resistance to America's Iraq policy; Saturday displayed the popular opposition, as protesters from Calgary to Copenhagen denounced America as the greatest threat to world peace. A country like ours, held together not by blood or borders but by the ideas that drew our optimistic ancestors, takes attacks on its motives personally. The ferocity of the global debate may not change attitudes here toward war, but it changes the calculations...
...same time, it's wrong to think shifting consumer tastes have rid the roads of gas-sucking, top-heavy SUVs. Though total passenger-vehicle sales fell 1.9% in 2002, SUV sales rose 6.9%, to nearly 4 million--more than ever before--and only 1 million of those were the crossovers. The rest were traditional SUVs, which will pack the roads for years. And while SUV sales slipped 3% last month, the car companies are responding with rebates as high as $4,500 for hefty SUVS like the Dodge Durango. Car analysts at J.D. Power are predicting that by year...
...what we do know: new temperature records reveal that the heat in the left wheel well began to increase when the shuttle was still over the Pacific, heading for California.

Even as the debate over long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel raged during the 1990s, U.S. uranium consumption rose about 35% over the decade, to about 55 million lbs. in 2001. That makes Cameco's bet on McArthur River--and the firm's nearby mine, Cigar Lake, which could begin production around mid-decade--look a lot less foolish...
...lives, they still matter. "When I sing, I am raising the Zimbabwean flag," says Mtukudzi. If Mugabe, nature and circumstance have brought the nation to its knees, then these patriots are singing "Stand up!" You have to wonder whether Mapfumo and Mtukudzi are experiencing déj? vu. Both rose to prominence in the Harare township of Highfields in the 1970s, during the country's final push for freedom. "In those days, blacks couldn't go into town after dark," recalls Charles Tavengwa, proprietor of the Mushandira Pamwe Hotel, the legendary nightspot where both men played early in their careers...
