...this after a failed effort to stage a dramatic march from the nearest intersection a couple of blocks away, in which Sheehan and her fellow protestors, wandering down a major city thoroughfare without sidewalks and braving a stream of impatient vehicles unused to delays, might have been recent graduates of the Outward Bound program in a city where presentation and composure are everything...
...West Bank. Hamas, quite simply, has eclipsed Fatah in leading the Palestinian fight against Israel.

Eventually, with support from UNESCO, the government decided to fund a $700 million reconstruction project, which was started...
...likely CIT bankruptcy serves as a reminder that a number of issues of the financial crisis have yet to be resolved. Among the things that analysts and economists are still worried about are the hundreds of billions of dollars in commercial real estate bonds that face defaults, a continued stream of small-bank failures and the rising unemployment rate...
