Next, the alliance tried the South Bend, Ind., system, which had accepted ads from various religious groups and so had little choice but to take the atheists' ads. While no protests attended the acceptance, South Bend, home to the University of Notre Dame, now has a moratorium on new noncommercial ads, until a formal policy is written. Now appearing on South Bend's buses: "You can be good without...
...None of the people of Christchurch would be surprised to learn of Ellis' green fingers. The South Island's largest city is obsessive about greenery, famed for its meticulously manicured greenswards - many of them rose gardens in the English style - and fully deserving of its "Garden City" tagline. Edwardian punts float down the peaceful, winding river Avon, while helmeted sightseers glide past on futuristic Segway transporters.

"I get vertigo and don't like looking down," he says of his time at the summit. "But if you are there, you might as well look once." The day after returning to the U.K., the veteran explorer spoke with TIME about his heart attack, his fears...
That effort will now at least go into abeyance, if only because Pyongyang clearly has no interest in accepting U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's invitation, issued this week, to return to the six-party talks. South Korean President Lee Myung Bak in Seoul flatly told President Obama earlier this week not to go back to simply trying to bribe the North out of its nuclear program.
