...fears for the future. Hard on the border fence is Netiv ha-Asara, a small farming community. Last month, a Qassam rocket dropped onto the leafy dune-top village and killed an Israeli woman. When Israel pulls out of Gaza, Netiv ha-Asara could become an even easier target for the rockets, a new frontline...
Statewide curriculum standards for science are a relatively new target for Darwin doubters, one that has a broader impact than local school-board decisions. In addition, by working at the state level, intelligent-design advocates can largely avoid dealing with unpolished local activists who make rash religious statements that don't hold up in court. (Supporters of the Darwin disclaimer in Dover, Pa., have publicly proclaimed the country a Christian nation, a point cited in an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit.) It has been only since the late 1980s and early '90s that most states have created science-curriculum standards...
...standards movement in education has, overall, strengthened the teaching of evolution, even as it has presented a new target for anti-Darwinists.

Throughout the week, she engaged in around-the-clock phone sessions with the new U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzad, discussing how to get Iraq's squabbling political factions to reach a compromise on a draft constitution by next Monday, the target date set last year by the U.S. When she met with TIME, Rice argued against focusing solely on the rising death toll. "It's a lot easier to see the violence and suicide bombing than to see the rather quiet political progress that's going on in parallel," she says...
...Target continues to bring high-end designers to the masses, this time with Thomas O'Brien's Vintage Modern home furnishings and accessories collection. He may not be a household name yet, but O'Brien, left, has the résumé to become "the next big thing"--he designed interiors for his former employer, Ralph Lauren, and he founded the ultracool design store, Aero Studios. Vintage Modern, which hits stores in October, has more than 500 retrosimple pieces, from stickers for $1.99 to a two-door chest for $499.99. By Betsy Kroll...
