...More disturbing, he says, are signs that campaigns urging people to evacuate early are not working. The effectiveness of radio-broadcast public evacuation warnings will also be examined - though with a fire moving that fast, "there's little time to warn people, and little time for people to heed the warning." In the meantime, stories of heroism and loss are spreading through the stunned townships of the peninsula. Wangary general-store owner Sandra Saunders says she has "never seen people look so sad." Many locals are still suffering the painful effects of hours fighting the fire without goggles. But donations...
...Cheney to Treasury Secretary John Snow--labeling Social Security a "crisis" that must be fixed. "First step," Bush told TIME last month, "is to make sure everybody understands we have a problem."

Tens of thousands of lives might have been spared had the danger been communicated to Sri Lanka and India immediately after the undersea earthquake, which would have given two hours to warn coastal residents to move to higher ground. On Sunday, there were no such communication channels - and no evacuation protocols in place. Still, the technology exists to provide early warnings, but not to stave off the forces of nature...
...runoff, scheduled by the supreme court after it threw out last month's rigged results, the diagnosis may help consolidate his support and make it more complicated for his opponents to take advantage of his condition. When it was still a mystery, Yanukovych had his top Russian press handler warn voters on TV that if they elected such a sick man, "the very next day Yushchenko will be admitted to hospital." --By Julie Rawe.
