Great walls of fire
Article Abstract:
Large forest fires are common in the US, and the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management and state firefighters are always able to move very rapidly to tackle them. In remote areas, forest fires are tackled initially by the Smokejumpers, who parachute in to try to put out the fire before it gets out of control. Extensive use is also made of firefighting aircraft, many of which are very old. It has become common for US firefighters to be involved in tackling fires elsewhere in the world, especially the Mediterranean.

The e-mail evidence charting the end of Bill and Monica's affair
Article Abstract:
Electronic mail messages between Monica Lewinsky and her friend Catherine Davis give a detailed insight into Lewinsky's emotions as her relationship with President Bill Clinton came to an end. She continued to miss Clinton after he ended their relationship in May 1997, and sought to return to the White House. In Aug 1997, she tried to resume the relationship, and was deeply upset to be told in Sep 1997 that there was no job for her at the White House.
