...India's foreign ministry welcomed Musharraf's offer, and Kashmiri families-some separated from loved ones for nearly half a century-are expected to soon come flooding across the LoC. The devastation they will encounter, particularly on the Pakistani side, is hellish. The stench of death still hangs in a pestilential cloud over Muzaffarabad, the largest Kashmiri city on the Pakistani side. Thousands died in the city, many of them in hospitals and schools destroyed by the 7.6 magnitude quake-on Wednesday, aid officials revised the final death toll upwards in Pakistan from 54,000 to nearly 80,000.

...most egregious offenders and tried to develop some coherent theory to explain their presence. Some perpetrators are obvious. The John Harvard’s/Felipe’s/Starbucks corner combines an aromatic casserole of malty hops, stewed carnitas, and explosive, espresso-induced diarrhea.

During a visit to the New Orleans lakefront Thursday, the Vice President asserted after a short tour that "we're making significant progress." The engineers on the ground, those who work in the dross and stench every day, agree, but they also privately say they have barely begun. Not because they aren't working hard. Among the dozen Corps employees I spoke with, all said they were sleeping no more than four hours a night, mostly on the floor of the Corps' New Orleans office, which has reeking...
...targets of an atom bomb. Barefoot Gen is another: a memoir (by writer-producer Keiji Nakazawa) of a boy's life in Hiroshima before and after the blast. Gen, on his way to school on Aug. 6, 1945, must become a man amid the city's charnel rubble. The stench of burning bodies will adhere to you; this is no movie for kids. It does have the awful poignancy of a national nightmare--and in cartoon form...
