...government banned the station in 2003 for airing an interview with an armed rebel group spokesman. The station was allowed to return to its regular programming only after other stations vowed to abstain from reporting on government news until the regime lifted...
...committee met in a special session on Monday to begin rewriting the law, which has resulted in an epidemic of abandoned children - with some parents driving from Florida, Arizona and Georgia to drop off their problem kids. Most states allow a parent to leave an infant at a fire station or hospital without fear of prosecution, but because Nebraska's law did not define child, 34 kids have been dropped off at Omaha hospitals since September.

...explosion!" - Myth of Tomorrow depicts the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, drawing comparisons from some critics to Picasso's Guernica, which illustrates the 1937 firebombings of that Spanish city. (In fact, the two were contemporaries, and Okamoto is often compared with Picasso.) The white-tiled station wall has thus transformed into a burning landscape, swirling with hues of red, yellow and black...
