My first 600+ mile tank! This was also my best tank yet at 55.1 mpg. Had no bars on the fuel gauge, of course, but I still had 1.3 gallons left in the tank when I filled up last night (last reading: 604.3 miles).

Slain Reporter’s Last Story Bares Chechen Torture. Ms. Politkovskaya, one of Russia’s best-known journalists and human rights advocates, was fatally shot … …

A Scholar Is Alive, Actually, and Hungry for Debate. I love the way Chávez thumbs his nose at Bush, and I certainly don’t think he is any sort of physical threat to the US. Bringing Noam Chomsky into the worldwide spotlight, however, earns huge bonus points in my book. “I have been quite interested in … …
