...explained to Time, noting that a final call on whether or not the E.U. will wield executive powers will only be made early next year. "The decision will be whether to stick with the plan of disbanding the ohr, or to rethink," said Schwarz-Schilling. The prospect of a weaker international presence is disturbing to many. Emsuda Mujagic, 54, is a Muslim woman who was driven from her home near Prijedor in the Serb Republic in 1992. Her village was torched and 48 family members, she says, were murdered in camps.

He reasoned that gravity only appears to be weaker than other forces—such as electromagnetism—because it is diluted over more space. If gravity is not weaker than other forces, he said that the effects of string theory could be observed more directly through experimentation, which would put an end to physicists’ studying forces at shorter...
...Ehud Olmert may be in an even weaker position than his British counterpart. The prevailing view among Israelis that their government failed to achieve its objectives in the recent Lebanon war has left him fighting for his political life. Even the leaders of his own party have agreed that the unilateral withdrawals from the West Bank that had been a centerpiece of his campaign strategy are not politically feasible for the foreseeable future.
