...school, fuel-efficient Civic might be a better choice. And if your commute is more than 40 miles, well, you might want to kick the tires on a nifty hybrid. If, like Q'Orianka, you want a fuel-cell car, but you're not living in the Southern California hydrogen-fueling cluster, sorry. Only a dozen hydrogen-fueling stations exist, all in a 60-mile stretch between Newport Beach and Santa Monica...

This volatile city in southern Afghanistan, known as the spiritual birthplace of the Taliban, isn't unfamiliar with the staccato rattle of gunfire and the thunder of explosions.

...those issues are crucial to both Europe and the U.S. Libya's massive reserves include more than 44 billion bbl. of oil and about 53 trillion cu. ft. (1.49 trillion cu. m) of natural gas. Some of that gas is now piped under the Mediterranean to southern Italy - a valuable alternative to the politically unreliable Russian gas supplies, on which Europe is heavily dependent. U.S. officials have previously said that Washington's renewed links with Libya have proved an important source of intelligence; the U.S. dropped its sanctions and resumed diplomatic relations in 2004, after Gaddafi publicly renounced his nuclear...
