At Gaza Zoo, The Wild Things Return
Almost a year after Israel's offensive against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, the coastal enclave is still struggling to recover. Most animals at the Gaza Zoo died during the fighting. Now, with the help of animal smugglers, the zoo is trying to rebuild.Obama Aims To 'Finish The Job' In Afghanistan
President Obama said Tuesday he intends to finish the job in Afghanistan, adding he would soon announce his strategy for the country. The comments came in a joint news conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is on a state visit to the U.S.Laughter, Tears And Kisses As Marines Come Home
Families gather at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to welcome back the Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Regiment — known as "America's Battalion" — after months deployed in Afghanistan. But not every family is going to see their Marine: Thirteen of the Marines died in Afghanistan.Senate, House Health Bills Have Much In Common
Much of the recent discussion about a health care overhaul has focused on the differences between the House and Senate bills. The bills actually have much in common, however: big ideas that may have once seemed controversial but are now overshadowed by talk of a public option and abortion.Impeachment Hearings Against Sanford Begin
South Carolina lawmakers began impeachment hearings Tuesday against Gov. Mark Sanford. The legislators began a hearing on the governor's five-day absence in June when he went to Argentina to meet his lover and left no one in charge of the state. Cindi Scoppe, associate editor of The Slate newspaper, says Sanford and the legislature had been at odds even before the scandal.Pa. University Targets Overweight Students
Students at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania are upset about a school rule requiring overweight students to take an exercise course in order to graduate. The rule applies to students with a body mass index above 30. James DeBoy, chair of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at Lincoln University, says the school officials believe that its their responsibility to alert students to the dangers of obesity.U.K. Begins Iraq War Inquiry
A long-awaited public inquiry into Britain's role in the Iraq war opened Tuesday with former civil servants questioned by a panel of investigators. But critics say the panel lacks the powers to get to the heart of the issues surrounding Britain's involvement in the war.CBO Chief On Health Care Bills
With health care overhaul legislation set for action on Capitol Hill, all eyes are on the bottom line. But estimating the financial impact is incredibly complex and contentious. In search of clarity is Doug Elmendorf, the head of the Congressional Budget Office. Elmendorf discusses how his office puts a price tag on proposed bills, and his view of this latest health care effort.Rockslide Shuts Down Interstate 40
One hundred fifty feet high and 300 feet wide: That's the size of a massive rockslide that last month shutdown Interstate 40 near the Tennessee-North Carolina line. Engineers now say it won't be until February when the highway reopens.Belgian Thought To Be In Coma Now Responsive
Twenty-three years ago, a Belgian car-crash victim was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. But doctors now say he appears to have been conscious the whole time. The man is now communicating using a special touchscreen. Neurologist Steven Laureys, who leads the Coma Science Group at the University of Liege in Belgium, says people in non-communicative states are misdiagnosed up to 40 percent of the time.Forums
