...result, I have seen a few things I never had before--including the inside of an air conditioner and the inside of a toilet. Just today, I got the idea of finally vacuuming the living room rug. But once I pulled out the vacuum and plugged it in, I was stumped about how to turn...
None of this is likely to end anytime soon. Professional peacemakers such as the U.N.'s put scant effort into ratcheting down the war; it is perceived as too complicated, too Islamic, too out of the way. The vacuum allows regional powers--Pakistan, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and India--to back one side or another, prolonging the conflict as they seek to extend their influence. Such meddling infuriates Afghans, but some reserve a special anger for America. They believe the U.S. has turned its back on the country it once supported, indifferent to its suffering.

To the eye, this is exactly what appears to be happening. But while scientists agree that the updraft is essential, many doubt that it provides the sole mechanism for tornado formation. Some scientists think the rapid sinking of colder, dryer air near the rear flank of the storm may be key. If this rush of air encounters wind shear on its way down, then it too will start to rotate. In this scenario, a tornado occurs...
