...Many more deaths are likely to occur not with the crack of gunfire but from grinding hunger, experts warn. Scrambling to avert that grim scenario, aid officials and political leaders from about 40 countries converged this week at the Rome headquarters of the U.N.'s Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to craft a rescue plan for the world's food supplies. By all accounts, they have arrived late to the crisis. The U.N.'s World Food Program (WFP) calls this emergency a "silent tsunami" that could have dire consequences for more than 100 million of the world's poor...
...most French pundits say the new rules as conceived by Bertrand's law will allow business to impose their requirements and conditions for overtime on employees, rendering the 35-hour law obsolete even if it remains on the books.

The rabbi's candid sermon has stirred debate among the shuttered Haredim. One stunned participant told reporters that "not since Moses" had a rabbi spoken publicly on such forbidden sexual topics. The spate of abuse cases prompted Israel's chief Ashkenazi rabbi, Yona Metzger, to call on his fellow religious leaders "to vomit these parents...
...course, no one could have predicted that Bokassa would end up a cannibalistic dictator when he was nominated to the Legion at the end of World War II. But French traditionalists do warn that unless the Legion returns to honoring people for their sacrifices, it will eventually be viewed by history as one that celebrated the rich and famous for just being the rich and famous. "Today, there are more CEOs and fewer civil servants, more sports stars and more show-business personalities [nominated for the Legion]," lamented an editorial in the conservative daily Le Figaro.
