Montreal, Europe's pied-a-terre in North America, went through a grim economic patch in the '80s and early '90s, when it had clearly lost its panache. The threat of Quebec separatism and a prolonged Canadian recession sapped its economic life. So many shops were shut that the city began to look more like struggling Buffalo, N.Y., than Paris. Today, though, this charming city is experiencing the kind of renaissance that old cities like Dublin and Prague have seen in recent decades. Chic new businesses, such as fashionista Fidel or juice purveyor Moozoo, are popping up seemingly everywhere...

Initially, anyone arrested by U.S. forces can be held informally for about 14 days before their case gets officially started. After that, the detainee is sent to a U.S. detention compound if military officials decide there is enough evidence of insurgent...
...meantime, while Bhutto was addressing the crowd, a suicide bomber in the northern city of Peshawar, bordering Pakistan's restive tribal areas, detonated himself at the residence of a government minister, killing four. When Musharraf declared emergency rule last week, he cited the threat of religious extremists. Of course, suicide bombers are easier to prevent in hindsight, but it cannot be overlooked that while government security forces focused all their attention today on one woman calling for democracy, terrorists scored one more victory for their cause...
