...from pollution, sonar gear, ships, global warming - even whale watching itself. Environmentalists see it as a landmark step. "They're moving out of the old mindset - that everything has to be killed - into the more embracing notion that the earth is getting smaller and smaller and we have to treat all our resources with more care," says Patricia Forkan, executive vice president of the Humane Society International. But the so-called Berlin Initiative infuriates as many as it pleases. Pro-whaling nations, led by Japan, Iceland and Norway, decry the IWC's gradual transformation from a small forum of whaling...
...likely be in Iraq at least four years. American GIs now find themselves peering through a 110-degree haze at an enemy who is essentially made invisible by the language and cultural barriers separating the troops from the local population. And the survival instinct requires that the soldier treat every crowd as a potentially deadly threat. Thus, for example, the killing of two Iraqis in Baghdad during a protest by former soldiers demanding to be paid, after U.S. officials said the crowd began throwing stones at American soldiers...
...third of the island's population had taken advantage of the quiet revolution, including 25,000 Turkish Cypriots who have applied for Cypriot (soon to be E.U.) passports and thousands of elderly Greek Cypriots who visited old homes for the first time since 1974.

His Royal Flyness, who seems to have answered questions while playing golf on a beach, is finishing up his second year at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where he is captain of the water polo team. "People here just treat me like everyone else," he says. "I'm able to live a near normal life." William is majoring in art history but considering a switch to geography (apparently still a cutting-edge discipline in Britain), and he's teaching himself Swahili. He confesses that he was initially unhappy...
...these duds do the job? Unlike sunscreen, which falls under the FDA's watch, sun-protective clothing is largely unregulated. Even so, the industry has its own voluntary standards. The weave in sun-protective clothing is extra tight, so ultraviolet rays can't penetrate. Some companies treat fabric with chemicals that reflect or absorb UV beams, in several cases using the same compounds that keep car seats from fading. That's not to say ordinary clothing can't do the trick. Off-the-rack blue jeans, for example, provide an SPF of more than 1,000. --By Janice M. Horowitz
