...world's largest milk producer. Dairy products account for about one-sixth of all E.U. farm produce by value and about 8% of all agriculture exports. But European milk prices have plummeted 40% over the past six months, to around €0.25 ($0.36) per liter, less than the cost of production, according to Copa-Cogeca, a European farmers' association.

In the Pashtun strongholds of Afghanistan, it is now perceived to be a good idea for a tribe to start siding with the Taliban, even though members of the tribe may not agree with their harsh medievalism. A critical mass is gathering, experts say. Elders who belong to once neutral tribes in Kandahar province are now telling their youths to take up arms against the foreign invaders, as their fathers did back in the 1980s against...
