...would link a staged withdrawal from Iraq by U.S. forces to stronger actions by the struggling Iraqi government. The report does not set a timetable for troop reductions, but it is expected to offer Baghdad a slower withdrawal if the government takes steps to end the violence. If Baghdad cannot make that happen, the troops would depart at an even faster rate. The genius of the approach is that if security returns as a consequence of this squeeze play, the need for U.S. troops will presumably also decrease. Says an expert who briefed the panel on the idea of trading...
...minority of priests in this country who wear the traditional habit of a Catholic priest: the cassock, a long black robe. Two orders that do this are the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and the Institute of Christ the King. Both orders have steadily increasing membership. The Priestly Fraternity cannot build rooms in its seminary quickly enough to house the number of young men who want to become a priest. Both orders say the traditional 1962 Mass in Latin...

...some extent, both leaders had anticipated the moment. In 1967, Nixon, then a defeated candidate for both the presidency and the California governorship, had written in Foreign Affairs magazine: "We simply cannot afford to leave China forever outside the family of nations." Two years later, as President, he let it be known that he wanted to visit the mainland before leaving office. On hearing this, Henry Kissinger, his National Security Adviser, smiled at a colleague and said, "Fat chance." Kissinger would soon find himself responsible for the trip's logistics and official communiqu?s. As for Mao, he had told...
