...Bush and John Ashcroft. High on their worry list are people like Katie Schiller, 19, a government major at the University of Texas at Austin. Like many in her age group, she leans left on social issues such as the death penalty and gay rights. But she is deeply torn about abortion.

Kumamoto prefecture governor Yoshiko Shiotani declared that the Arase dam, which spans the Kumagawa River on Japan's southern island of Kyushu, would be torn down beginning in 2010. It's about time.
