...sensation in August for her badly boggled and meandering answer to the question: Why can't one-fifth of Americans locate the United States on a map? I've been in the spotlight too, and I've lost my train of thought in the middle of answering a question, heard the rush of blood to my brain as I desperately tried to get back on track. I could feel her pain. But, then again, I've never answered any question with "the Iraq...
Five years ago, no one had heard of Rwandan coffee. It sold for less than a quarter of some speciality coffees and it didn't take an agronomist to figure out why. "It tasted crap," Schilling said. "Worse. It tasted of potatoes." Schilling, 54, was tasked with reviving Rwandan agriculture for usaid.

Will it happen? U.N. Security Council resolutions force the ICTR to complete its cases by the end of 2008, and then shut down. (Appeals can be heard through 2010.)

It's a promise that rings hollow to some, and one that has been heard before. In 2002 Musharraf promised that he would step down as army chief in exchange for a one-time exemption to the very same article 63, citing the ongoing political tensions. Back then, he had the support of the Pakistani people. Now, many have lost faith. "It's a joke, nobody...
Kevin Wasiluk, who sat outside the bathroom while waiting to catch a flight, says he first heard about the bathroom on the evening news. Wasiluk says he fully embraces the novelty of the situation. "It's pop history," he says. "No one's going to remember this in five years, so I'm going to get a picture while I still...
