A Flagstaff man has history in his warehouse. He's made a hobby of restoring military vehicles for 25 years. In one corner of Bill Buehler's warehouse is a 1942 Stuart Light Tank M3, once a reliable servant during landings with U.S. Marines and mobile and fast for fighting in the deserts of North Africa and the jungles of the South Pacific.

"I buy and sell them," he said....

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – Pakistan agreed on Monday to restore strict Islamist law in the Swat valley to pacify a revolt by Taliban militants, and a suspected U.S. drone fired missiles in the region killing at least 26 people. The decision on Islamic law is likely to draw criticism from the United States and other Western powers fearful that Pakistan is playing into the hands of religious conservatives who sympathize with the Taliban and al Qaeda. The agreement was reached at talks between Islamists and officials of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government in Peshawar on Monday. "After successful...

US restores aid to Palestinian hospitals By Tim Butcher in Jerusalem (Filed: 17/05/2006) America has reversed its ban on delivering medical supplies to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority, which has caused severe shortages in public hospitals. The State Department was forced into a policy U-turn after weeks of adverse publicity, with Palestinian hospitals forced to cut back on dialysis due to shortages of equipment and supplies. The Daily Telegraph was the first to report that America had suspended its multi-million-pound supply programme to Palestinian public hospitals three months ago. Four kidney dialysis patients were reported to have died in Gaza because...

PIERRE, S.D. - Gov. Mike Rounds has signed a bill that defines new crimes, repeals antiquated crimes and revises the elements of many existing crimes. The bill was drafted last year by the state Criminal Code Revision Commission, which spent months reviewing hundreds of criminal laws. Legislators made several changes to the measure, but the bulk of it was untouched. It has been three decades since the last major overhaul of the state criminal code. With one exception, the new code will be enacted July 1, 2006. Beginning this July 1, the measure will restore gun rights after one year...

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - Faced with the prospect of costly legal action, city officials Wednesday restored a public artwork featuring quotes about war and peace - including political commentator Bill Maher's definition of "a real coward."

The stone contained a quote attributed to Maher: "A real coward is someone who drops a bomb from a protected space several thousand feet up." Rock said he was concerned the quote could lead to...
