The President stressed that military action would form only one part of a comprehensive package of economic, financial, diplomatic and intelligence initiatives - and he cautioned Americans to be patient, and not to expect the sort of televised large-scale military assault seen during the Gulf...

(And Fassie's Stateside appeal is recognized by some: Banana Republic plays her song Vuli Ndlela in its stores.) Conflicted about the ethics of unauthorized file sharing? Online music stores--which tend to have wider and more eclectic inventories than their bricks-and-mortar counterparts--allow fans to buy hard-to-find CDs (like, say, the excellent compilation Zimbabwe Frontline 3: Roots Rock Guitar Party) quickly and conveniently, albeit sometimes expensively...
