...save the planet. Dirk Roggeveen Voorburg, the Netherlands The Kyoto accord is not about saving the earth. It is about saving humankind for a while longer before accelerated climate change wipes out the not-very-wise Homo sapiens. If we were really smart, we would take into account our track record of raping the earth and devise an exit strategy for our self-indulgent species, leaving the planet to the invertebrates to carry on without us. Tim Symonds Burwash, England Calling the Kettle Black? re The viewpoint by terrorism expert Rohan Gunaratna on the Maoist insurgents in Nepal...
...Chechen sources who track the war closely tell Time that Maskhadov, 53, last contacted senior guerrilla officers near Shali, a small town 26 km southeast of Grozny, on Feb. 21. Around that time, he was hiding in a village in the high, densely forested hills of the Nozhai Yurt district, another 40 km to the east. As so often in the past, he was living under his enemy's nose. The village was nominally under the control of pro-Russian Chechen forces; Tsentoroy, Kadyrov's home base, is only around 20 km away. Maskhadov was planning to move on toward...

Each of Arular’s 13 tracks, really, is a standout—even the three skits—and its 40-minute run time is far too brief...
...exit, Barlow wearily returned for an encore, taking requests one last time. After listening to the shouting for a minute, he declared that none of the requests inspired him, and so instead strummed his way through “Home,” the closest thing to a title track on the new album. His whispered mantra, “Nothing good can come to someone pretending he’s alone,” came across as a hard-earned lesson from a man who has finally found peace...
