Studies headed by the Australian National University show that reefs may be vulnerable to another environmental insult: wildfires. A new report suggests that smoke from 1997 Indonesian fires deposited iron on the surface of the water, leading to the growth of phytoplankton. This caused a so-called red tide that suffocated the coral. The only good reef news comes from a new four-nation study suggesting that while climate change certainly isn't good for coral, the tiny organisms may do better than we think at adapting to new conditions. Species with a tolerance for warmer waters may already...
...permanent residency to some workers already in the U.S. and allow millions of other Mexican and perhaps Central American migrants legal but temporary "guest worker" entry into the U.S. By granting more migrants safe passage, advocates say, the reforms would reduce demand for the coyote Mafias, help stanch the tide of migrant deaths and allow U.S. authorities to spend more time securing the border against potential terrorists.

In May and June, public-sector workers launched crippling nationwide strikes, and a week ago Corsicans narrowly rejected a referendum intended to launch Raffarin's effort to decentralize power...
...wise elder, the guru, has a mystique and appeal that cuts across political lines. For Vajpayee, it enables a regal rise above India's noisy democracy. Last year, with his rightist rivals ascendant, Vajpayee more or less retired from public view. But after the fundamentalists reached their high-tide mark last December with the re-election of the ultra-hard-line Narendra Modi as Gujarat's Chief Minister, a chasm opened in the center of Indian politics that only Vajpayee could fill. Last month, when BJP president Venkaiah Naidu suggested that Deputy Prime Minister Advani should lead the party into...
