Refugees in Darfur, Sudan (Concern Worldwide)
Ever Again
The situation in Darfur is worsening, but Congress has cut funding for African Union peacekeeping troops there. New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof says the conflict there is a genocide like the ones that happened in Rwanda and Armenia. University of Oregon’s Paul Slovic says there is a psychological explanation for our ignorance of the conflict. Plus: how certain is the transit workers' contract? What's up with cures for baldness? And the trials and travails of Jack Abramoff.
