...YouTube, that shows the shocking condition of the building that once housed Detroit's famous Cass Technical High School. Cass Tech meant a lot to me and other graduates for the opportunities it gave us. The old building, abandoned for a newer facility for the school, was a war zone - a ruin of overturned desks, textbooks, TVs and other equipment that could have been packed up and reused. If any public-school leaders had cared, and clearly they didn't, they would have treated the place better. Isaac T. Graves, Richmond...
...Peace in Kashmir - as in Afghanistan, Iraq and much of the Middle East - has long seemed out of reach, but it is just as urgent.

...want the last nuclear weapons that are stationed in Germany to be taken away," Westerwelle said at the conclusion of the coalition talks on Saturday. The U.S. doesn't disclose the exact number of nuclear warheads it still keeps in Germany, a legacy of its Cold War policy that dates back to the 1950s, and which made western Germany the frontline of its Soviet containment strategy. But German sources estimate there could be as many as 20 nukes still in the country. (See a profile of Guido Westerwelle...
