Unlike tigers and bulls, great whites hunt mostly during the day, and their preferred method of attack is to shoot up vertically from 30 ft. down, knocking their prey right out of the water with the impact. Researchers in South Africa have produced spectacular footage of great whites leaping 15 ft. into the air with a seal in their teeth...
...today and 2008. Now that Beijing will play host to the world, it might also have to tone down its anti-Western rants against "hegemonic" powers like the U.S. And, if leaders are again faced with massive demonstrations, expect them to look harder for a compromise before issuing the shoot-to-kill order. None of these constraints will lead to sudden democratic reform, but University of California professor Richard Baum suspects the Olympics could give society more room to maneuver: "Not a panacea, but progress nonetheless." That careful diplomacy may already be in evidence: the day after the announcement...
...Sierra Leone soldiers are also used to carrying semiautomatic AK-47s. They would shoot from the hip or hold the weapon away from the body and fire almost indiscriminately. Britain has supplied the army with 15,000 self-loading rifles and must now retrain the soldiers to use them.

He accuses one of rioting; the youth politely demurs but quickly leaves. "We used to be beaten by gangs of whites and just took it," Hossain says. "These boys are British-born, and they want their rights." A tattooed white teenager from the poor Ravenscliff estate...
...whitewashing of history in school textbooks. Protesters Saturday marched on the Japanese consulate carrying banners. "The Japanese government tells lies to young Japanese people," says Pius Yum, a 26-year-old member of the Association for Democracy and People. But history books in Hong Kong have holes you could shoot a Long March missile through. Only a single text refers to the Tiananmen protests of 1989?without mentioning fatalities?and the twin disasters of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution don't seem bad at all. "For the longest time, they didn't cover anything post-1949," says...
