The first Thanksgiving was in New England, but not in Plymouth colony. And though Squanto was nearby, he wasn't there.

Even war criminals need good legal representation. That's why Ramsey Clark ends up defending them in The Hague.

Trojan man: the world's oldest condoms, uncovered in the UK, are going to an exhibition in the Netherlands.

If you're the CEO of a multinational corporation, where would you invest? Brand X country?

"Is that a chopstick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" More on UC Davis professor Darrell Hamamoto and his quest to create Asian pride porn. Greg Pak's satire may be inspiration. =)

This month's Chinese-Indian joint naval exercises aren't so much a Beijing/New Delhi love in as a "show you mine if you show me yours".

Equal justice under law in Iraq is something as hard to come by under the US-led Coalition as it was under Saddam.

"I live here too!" Mike Bloomberg vows to force candidates for federal office to give more back to NYC if they expect NYC to cough up donations to them. It could get Bloomy re-elected and it could embarass Tom DeLay. I'll live with the former if we get the latter.

With the unveiling of the 8 design finalists for the WTC memorial, the monument-building business seems to be more active than ever. But remembering death too soon after it happens deprives us of serious time to reflect.
