...only a matter of seconds to make a go/no-go decision on whether to allow entry: 30 seconds for people and one minute for vehicles. And then there are the 7,000 miles of land borders and 95,000 miles of shoreline, which provide ample opportunities to walk, swim or sail into the nation. Official estimates place the number of illegal migrants living in America at 7 million. Given these immense numbers, it is a sense of futility, fueled by the lack of vision about what sensible measures are worth pursuing, that lies at the heart of our national inertia...

...years ago, Bob Markway retired. Or so he thought. After joining Shell's exploration and production unit in 1973, Markway had climbed the ranks to manage its deepwater operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

Gae Aulenti, the Italian architect who turned Paris' Gare d'Orsay into a stunning modern museum, has applied her magic to the 1960s-era Palavela skating rink. Preserving its sail-shaped outer structure, she introduced a new "building within a building" independent of the overlapping roof above. Yet the makeover has left intact Torino's graceful arcaded shopping streets, lively 19th century cafés and splendid squares: medal ceremonies will be held each night in the grand Piazza Castello...
...beaches of Alang in western India. The ship, which is riddled with potentially toxic asbestos and has already been rejected by Greece and Turkey, made no headway for several days as French authorities battled Egyptian efforts to hinder its passage through the Suez Canal. It finally started sailing again late last week, but it is by no means certain that the Indians will ever accept the Clemenceau. "It is a crime to allow asbestos [into India], and those doing so should be prosecuted," says Ramapati Kumar of Greenpeace India. "We will oppose the Clemenceau's entry to the last...
