Military Toxicologists Guilty of Death Toll
The Western media pointed out the unwillingness of the Russian government to release the name of the gas. The Daily Telegraph of Great Britain wrote with reference to a London military expert that it was probably BZ gas. This gas was first used by the American military in Vietnam.
Russian experts also believe that it was BZ gas. Doctor of Chemical Science Lev Fyodorov, said: “There can be no other variant. Our special forces have only this kind of gas. Theoretically, it is not a lethal gas if it affects healthy people. However, there were elderly people, children with weak organisms, and asthma-sick individuals among the hostages. This gas was lethal for them.”

Pot politics a growing issue
America is going for pot
More than seven in 10 Americans believe that potheads busted with small amounts of marijuana should be fined, not jailed. Time magazine devotes this week's cover story to the wacky weed as voters in Nevada decide next week whether to legalize minor possession of marijuana for personal use.

"Casul wear" auf Kaisers Haupt
Vor 400 Jahren, im Jahr 1602, ließ der in Prag residierende Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches, Rudolf II. (1552/1576-1612), in seiner Prager Hofwerkstatt eine private Hauskrone anfertigen, weil er bei gewissen Zeremonien nicht immer auf das in Nürnberg aufbewahrte Reichsinsignium angewiesen sein wollte. Diese Krone, die seit der Erhebung Österreichs zum Kaiserreich 1804 dieses bis zum Ende der Monarchie symbolisierte, gilt als eine der schönsten des Abendlandes.

Und baut ganz auf das "kosmische Potenzial" der Studenten: An den Unis suchen der Guru und sein "Minister für Erleuchtung" Flugbegleiter auf dem Weg zum Weltfrieden.

Zensur a la Google
Es geht bei Google nicht nur ums Geschäft. Nach einem Bericht des Berkman Center an der Harvard-Universität wurden bei google.de und google.fr mehr als 100 Websites bei den Suchresultatenen nicht aufgeführt, die bei google.com aber nicht zensiert werden. Dabei handelt es sich offenbar vorwiegend um antisemitische und rechte Websites, deren Inhalte in Deutschland bzw. Frankreich verboten sind oder rechtlich bedenklich sein können. Gibt man beispielsweise "Stormfront White Pride World Wide" als Suchbegriffe ein, so führt google.com 17 Seiten an, google.fr und google.de jedoch keine einzige.
