Here’s what we have at this hour:
- Emergency Workers Struggle to Cool Reactor at Japanese Nuclear Plant (NYT) — The continuing suspense, as the earthquake continues to shake Japan and the world.
- Over Half a Million in Temporary Shelters (WSJ) — Wow. I saw that picture this morning of devastation on the front of The State, and I thought, perhaps irrelevantly, “I’m glad I can say that this time, WE didn’t do that…”
- Gadhafi’s Push Adds Urgency to Global Plan (WSJ) — The rebels are in more and more trouble. And what ARE we supposed to say to the Arab League asking us for a “no-fly” zone? Lebanon says they’ll even write the resolution…
- Leaders Of The Libyan Opposition Emerge (NPR) — Hillary Clinton says she’ll meet with them. That is, I suppose, assuming they’re still around when she gets over that way.
- Gulf states send forces to Bahrain following protests (NYT) — Is it just me, or is this getting WAY more ominous — Saudi Arabia intervening at the behest of the Bahrain regime?
- 19 chambers to unveil regional coalition (CRBR) — Which could have quite an impact on ecodevo in the Midlands, going forward.
Sorry, I couldn’t quite fit the gov’s appearance on “Army Wives” onto my front. Also, I was afraid that if I did, y’all might get whiplash or something from the sudden drop-off in seriousness from the world news…
