At an intersection of Bangkok's busy Pattanakarn Road in June, the driver of a gray Hilux pickup lost patience waiting for an interminable red light and attempted a quick U-turn into oncoming traffic. He was rammed by a Toyota sedan; the impact spun one vehicle into six motorcycles whose riders were waiting at the light, while the other was propelled into two other motorcyclists turning into Pattanakarn Road. Although nine people were injured, no one died. Others have not been so fortunate. "This road is the worst," says Sommai Nutang, a 46-year-old truck...

And it cannot be gleaned from the pull-out sections that the national newspapers have run all week. In fact, the Democratic party has taken every possible measure to ensure the elimination of this “shadow” from its convention, working to choreograph every moment...
...dunked underwater. "Our sister has risen from the grave of old ways!" exclaims Les Schulz from the stage. But no sooner than a lone hallelujah is heard, Gloria is whisked backstage in a white dressing gown, to emerge through a side door a few minutes later wearing a smart gray suit. Tears spill down her cheeks. "I've prayed all week that the Lord would give me strength, and he has," she tells the congregation. "I feel like a new lady...
