What A Week!

Well, that was one amazing week. For your "rumor of war" files we had, and continue to have, a contest of wills between two nuclear powers, the U.S. and China, and the U.S. and Great Britain again bombed Iraq; for your pestilence files we had news of the foot and mouth epidemic in Europe and an outbreak of tuberculosis in the UK; in the "signs in the sun" department, the solar flare reported in the last entry was the largest ever recorded and produced spectacular auroral displays; in the quake department, India struggles to rebuild; and, famine and persecution continues to be reported in the Sudan, and these are only the highlights of the weeks events. Stay tuned for the events of the new week.
