...would like her two daughters (Bliss is the older sister) to follow in her footsteps in the pageant world and then, after the triumph of coronation, go on to some greater future that while undefined, does not mimic her own fate of settling down with an amiable husband (Daniel Stern) in a shoe-box of a house to raise children between shifts at the Bodeen post office...
...Germany stayed firm on Afghanistan. But public support has fallen over the years, and especially in the past 12 months. An August poll by French daily Le Figaro found that just 36% backed France's military's presence in Afghanistan. In July, a Forsa poll for German magazine Stern found that 61% of Germans want the country's military involvement to end.

Micheletti - citing Zelaya's disregard for a Supreme Court order not to hold a constitutional-reform referendum this year that the coup leaders say provoked his removal by armed soldiers - instead called on Brazil to "respect the judicial order handed...
...Iranians knew if there would be any turnout. It had been weeks since the last major opposition rallies, and in the meantime the public had been subjected to show trials, allegations of torture and rape in prisons and stern warnings by the regime against any future action. But as the world heard the erratic statements of Ahmadinejad set against the ongoing maneuvering of the U.S., Russia and China on sanctions vs. engagement, hundreds of thousands of green-clad opposition supporters in multiple cities in Iran defiantly took to the streets. Participants of the Qods Day protests told TIME that crowd...
