...Khatami, was arrested on corruption charges. ?The charges are widely regarded as bogus, because Karbaschi is one of the cleanest politicians in the country,? says TIME Middle East bureau chief Scott MacLeod. ?This is the strongest challenge yet to Khatami by the conservatives who are resisting his moves to thaw relations with Washington.? Although Khatami and his government have condemned the arrest -- and arranged for Karbaschi to keep on running the capital from behind bars -- he now has to wait for the conservative-dominated justice system to process the case. And plan the battle of his political life...
...trench 6 ft. wide, 27 ft. long and 7 ft. deep. Hultin came across several bare skeletons before he hit pay dirt: the well-preserved body of a 30-year-old woman so obese that her fat had insulated her organs from the effects of decades of frost and thaw. He took both lungs, sliced them into thin strips and carefully packed them for shipment. Hultin named the body "Lucy," a nod to the prehistoric Lucy who shed so much light on human origins...
...embargo against Cuba just a tiny bit.

R.B.A.'s success, though it may not have been quite as dramatic as the birth of septuplets, within days had made headlines all over the world. Within weeks, the Atlanta clinic had fielded calls from fertility experts and infertile couples as far away as England and Germany...
...sure, there are other genres of retro-bike. Not to be overlooked is the too-small banana seater that has sparklies somewhere on the frame. This type of bike is most often seen parked near WHRB or emerging from the snow after a thaw. And, there is the friendly, "creative retro-bike" with flowers painted on it. This rarity has only one member on campus and it is always parked in front of DeWolfe. Above and beyond the retro-bike, transcending the style capacity of most, is the motorized scooter. This is reserved for the select few. It's something...
