...houses in North Philadelphia, the asphalt school yard at Wright Elementary is a blur of arriving children, many in uniforms getting a bit too tight and too short as the year draws to a close. Glasses propped on top of her head, hand on a child's shoulder, Wright's motherly principal, Anita Duke, rolls a rickety cart with a microphone and speaker into the yard for the morning announcements and starts another day. It's Duke's 29th year working in Philadelphia's public schools, her sixth at Wright, and it has been one of her best...
...livery of the Castle Guard, the ceremonial troops at Prague Castle. "The green uniforms and plastic ties on a rubber band didn't give the country a good image," says Ladislav Spacek, Havel's former spokesman. Today, the soldiers wear fetching grey-and-blue uniforms, complete with tassels and shoulder braids in the colors of the Czech flag, and their changing-of-the-guard ceremonies attract scores of tourists.

...fight. Downing St. officials say they're confident the skeptics will look stupid when wmd are found, that Blair didn't lie and that polls show voters think the war was worth fighting regardless.

As it happens, two partial right arms turned up in the discarded mummy wrappings. The better preserved of the two is a woman's arm that may be in a flexed position; the hand on the arm is clasped. If attached to the young woman's body, the arm would be bent across her chest and the hand could have held a scepter--an Egyptian sign of kingly power. "This was clearly...
...assailants pelted the cars, shattered windows and rammed their staves at the passengers. Soldiers wielding guns arrived, and shots rang out. Several witnesses said Suu Kyi suffered cuts to her face, shoulder and hands from shards of glass. Others claim she was beaten with sticks. Tin Oo, her 76-year-old NLD vice chairman, was severely clubbed and may have been shot. The attackers set upon anyone without a white armband, impaling them, stripping women, splitting open skulls. When the bloodletting subsided, 40 to 80 of Suu Kyi's supporters lay dead. Soldiers carted her off, along with...
