...quell unrest, Musharraf's best move could simply be to reinstate Chaudhry. "Then he wouldn't be the 100-foot giant stalking the cities and roads of Pakistan," says Aitzaz Ahsan, Chaudhry's lead counsel. But many consider it unlikely that the President will back down. Islamabad these days is permeated by fear that martial law will be declared. "My worry is that [Musharraf] is about to do something really silly and really dangerous," says Gilani. Musharraf "has now developed a larger-than-life self-image," adds Iqbal. "He thinks that he is Pakistan's destiny." Certainly he was once...
During the process, workers were allowed to address the panel. They told of missing and inaccurate records, of being warned by their managers that their radiation exposure levels were too high, and so their radiation detection badges were quietly put away in office drawers so they wouldn't lose their jobs or be transferred to lower-paying positions. They told of seeing an orange cloud surrounding a building following an accident; of routine radioactive material spills where everyone would "bail" from a building and then have to return to mop things up. They told of 55-gallon drums of vile...

In an earlier time, such a kid would have dreamed of racing in the Indianapolis 500, maybe, but wouldn't have given NASCAR a thought.

Those workers who had false papers had to make a decision: stay and risk detention and deportation if the rumor were true, or leave and expose themselves as illegal workers. Cargill wouldn't comment on the incident, but locals say that dozens fled the plant that night and were fired or quit after having outed themselves by leaving...
...group that might suffer most from doing away with the G-8 is the protesters, who would lose the premier platform for voicing their muddled dissent. And maybe that wouldn't be such a good thing. Beneath the confused thinking are some real issues that deserve a public forum. For example, the man on the go-go stilts, Berlin teacher Tony Mueller, 33, is campaigning for less restrictive policies for asylum seekers in Germany. And maybe someday the baby-floating artists at Dropping Knowledge will find a masterpiece more effective in convincing people to care about Africa...
