...headmistress. Aman, together with some 70 other students and militants, died as the weeklong siege of the mosque and madrasah complex culminated in a final showdown lasting 36 hours. Few Pakistanis had supported the mosque-led vigilante campaign that kidnapped alleged brothel workers, threatened video and music shops selling "un-Islamic" material and declared a fatwa against the popular woman tourism minister who had been photographed hugging her parachute instructor. Still, the government's attack on the madrasah last July was widely condemned. The popularity of President Pervez Musharraf was already on the wane, and the perception that he sent...
...doorbell rings, a little late. Clooney hit traffic, his assistant called to say, on his way back from visiting his girlfriend in Las Vegas.

Although the Prime Minister is convinced that Britain is on the motorway to recovery, many economic experts have doubts. Even official Treasury projections indicate that growth will slow again, un employment will rise and inflation will creep upward over the next twelve to 18 months. Most of the government's economists are bracing for a jump in joblessness to 3.3 million by this fall. Nonetheless, the Prime Minister is unlikely to resort to Keynesian pump priming even if her policies...
