...Hispanic immigrants spread beyond their strongholds in New York, California and Texas, summer sports--and the spectators that cluster around them--are turning up the heat on already simmering ethnic and class tensions, according to Princeton University sociologist Douglas Massey. "There are complaints in parks and fields all across America. Volleyball just happens to be the local version in Danbury," he says. "But if you know anything about Latin cultures, this is pretty innocent stuff. They bring their families. The men aren't getting totally drunk because, really, they are there for the sports...
...Funded mainly by Australian taxpayers, the rescue mission has spread peace, order - and a good deal of money. But the further one goes from Honiara, the capital, the smaller its presence becomes. Here in Munda, ramsi is Louise, Sete and 'Isi. "We're part of a big jigsaw puzzle," says Curragh. "Every person that comes out here adds something to it. We all bring different experiences.

First the nanny, DAISY WRIGHT (left, with Law and his son RUDY), who reportedly kept a diary, shared with Britain's Sunday Mirror such choice bulletins as "Jude was a masterful lover who made my whole body tingle" and that...
...world has taken some steps to curtail the spread of nukes. Under a treaty signed three years ago, the U.S. and Russia agreed to shrink their stockpiles; for the U.S., that has meant trimming the number of deployed warheads from the current 5,000 to between 1,700 and 2,200 by 2012. At the same time, the Bush Administration has decided, unilaterally, to cut the total nuclear arsenal from about 10,000 warheads to 6,000 over the same period. In the armed forces, nuclear expertise is no longer a path to the top. "No one's promoting their...
