  4. Once again, the gun lobby's message is off-target

    For priding itself as an organization that teaches gun safety, why does the National Rifle Assn. keep shooting itself in the foot?

  8. Chan Lowe: Obama's cabinet picks

    Presidential staffing is where symbolism and pragmatism collide. It&rsquo;s also where the dual nature of the presidency&mdash;as head of state and head of government&mdash;becomes most problematic for the occupant.

  10. Justice for genocide in Guatemala?

    GUATEMALA CITY &mdash; When a judge ruled to admit all the prosecution documents and expert witnesses in the genocide trial here of Gen. Efra&iacute;n R&iacute;os Montt last week &mdash; ensuring that Guatemala will be the first country in history to try one of its own heads of state for the most egregious crime against humanity &mdash; no triumphal smiles crossed the faces of courtroom observers. Some had been working toward this moment for years: two elderly women who between them lost a brother and a son among the 200,000 dead and disappeared over 36 years of guerrilla warfare and military dictatorship; indigenous Maya survivors from the highlands, where the army by its own account erased entire villages; those who spent their young adulthood in exile, then returned before it was safe to do so, throwing themselves into the tedious labor of collecting the evidence now being used against the general.

  11. Cruise Port Spotlight: Monte Carlo, Monaco

    Roughly the size of New York&rsquo;s Central Park at three miles long and one-and-a-half mile wide, Monaco not only enjoys an incredible setting between the Mediterranean and the Alps and between the French and Italian Rivieras, but could be said to be Europe&rsquo;s own central park &ndash;a once-upon-a-time Mediterranean port of call with a royal palace and streets filled with Ferraris, Mercedes Benzes, Rolls Royces and other luxury cars, designer boutiques and sidewalk cafes.
