...Jakarta's governor, Sutiyoso, has blamed the destruction on cyclical weather patterns and drainage problems in neighboring Bogor, which he says he is powerless to control. "There is no point in throwing abuse around," he told a local radio station. Meanwhile, with elections scheduled for next year, the fear in Jakarta is that the buck will simply be passed to the next administration. "Whoever [the next governor] is needs to make flood management and prevention a priority," says political columnist Bara Hasibuan. Otherwise, when rains return to Jakarta, the water will only rise higher...
DIED. Gian Carlo Menotti, 95, Italian-born composer who reinvigorated American opera by bringing his lyrical, high-intensity works to mass audiences over the objections of critics who claimed his popular masterpieces were not sufficiently intellectual; in Monaco.

Backtracking on the puddled road, past piles of tires burning in a cold rain, the taxi met Israeli army jeeps highballing in the other direction, toward the shabab, the Palestinian youths with stones. The soldiers were driving fast, as they do in the territories, their radio antennas whipping like a fly-fisherman's rod with a trout on the line. The soldiers' weapons bristled from the sides of the jeeps, and they wore heavy, stone-proof hard plastic helmets with wraparound clear visors that hid their faces -- a space- alien effect.
