...leaving made me realize that my corner of the country is more unique than I had thought. Now I delight in telling tales of a city where the smell of cereal cooking often wafts through the air and every June the World’s Longest Breakfast Table is staged downtown treating thousands to a cereal feast. In fact, until I began to inform my new friends of rituals like this one, I had never even noticed that this cereal centricity was bizarre...
...Club is enough to fill this normally serene valley in north Wales. It's the first hometown show in five years for the Super Furry Animals, the most eclectic and technicolor band to emerge from the guitar-drenched mid-'90s. They're here to commemorate the centennial of the longest-ever British strike, when 3,000 local quarrymen walked off the job for three years. But the group isn't all about politics; after all, two yetis play kettledrums during a rendition of Mountain People. In the early days, the five members drove to festivals in their blue tank with...
...simply an extension of the U.S. occupation. These include, of course, former Baathists and their supporters and also Islamist elements among the Sunni Arab population, but more worryingly, the increasingly militant Sadrist movement among the Shiite majority.

His popularity doubtless owes something to the low crime rate in Austin, the county's biggest city (and state capital). In 2001, according to FBI figures, Austin had the fourth lowest per capita murder rate among U.S. cities with 500,000 to 1 million residents...
...benches. Last month Vajpayee quashed a leadership challenge from within his own Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) by supporters of hard-line Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani. Even more bold, Vajpayee has drafted a moderate Hindu leader to come up with a compromise to one of the longest-running flash points in Indian politics?the decades-old dispute over whether a Hindu temple should be built at a site in Ayodhya where a mosque once stood. The Telegraph newspaper in Calcutta ran the front-page headline hard as diamond, soft as flowers over a picture of a bare-chested Vajpayee...
