...emphasis, of course, being on well-run. Unfortunately, many luxury brand sites are too glitzy for their own good. Off-key efforts to replicate an in-store experience are usually overly reliant on Flash technology and needlessly saturated with music and videos. The result is sites that are slow, clunky, difficult to navigate - and potentially image-tarnishing. "Most online affluent shoppers don't want all that," Bracewell-Lewis says. Usually they're looking for a specific item or manufacturer and don't want to dig through layers of Flash images...
...essence, while the G.O.P. has largely tried to keep its base quietly comforted, Democrats have seemed compelled to make public shows of allegiance to pro-choice activists. The result is that pro-choice voters hear little from Republican candidates to upset them, even as pro-life voters have their differences with the Democratic Party's abortion stance highlighted for all to see. Not surprisingly, the two approaches show up at the ballot box: in 2000, 38% of Bush's voters were pro-choice while only 22% of Gore's were pro-life. Those percentages closed in 2004, but only slightly...
...Zimbabwe's security forces and pro-government militias have rampaged across the country since Mugabe lost control of parliament and came in second to Tsvangirai in the country's first round of voting on March 29.

More than 200 supporters are missing. M.D.C. party leaders have also been arrested - Tsvangirai has been detained repeatedly - and his No. 2. Tendai Biti, has been charged with treason, which can be a capital offence. Journalists have also...
...next month will convene the Communion's once-a-decade Lambeth Conference. If all the conservatives walk out, they will diminish attendance at the July 20 conference by more than one-quarter. (Liberals assert that the number of abstainers will be much smaller.) The entire process could well result in the diminution of the power of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the titular head of the Communion and the closest thing the denomination has to a Pontiff...
...Communion, particularly from Africa and conservative dioceses of North America, is no longer interested in discussing questions of how the Communion will deal with homosexual bishops and the blessing of homosexual unions, and appears ready to act unilaterally to get its way. Failure to deal with the conflict could result in a shift in the Communion's center of power away from its English roots and toward its growing, disgruntled churches in the southern hemisphere...
