  1. In Afghanistan, businesswomen must seek a delicate balance

    KABUL, Afghanistan — Roya Mahboob navigates the potholes of doing business in Afghanistan like any other entrepreneur. Corruption is rife. Kidnappings are common. Bomb blasts remain an overarching reality.

  2. After racial slurs become public fodder, transgressors have a common response: I'm not racist

    AP National Writer
    It's almost a cliche. First, someone talking about blacks makes reference to fried chicken, watermelon, monkeys or dogs — or even uses the indefensible N-word. Then, along with the inevitable apology, comes the kicker: I'm not racist. The latest...

  3. Carroll County's gun law nullification fantasy

    Nullification fever is spreading across the rural counties along the Mason-Dixon Line, with Cecil, Harford and Carroll counties passing resolutions in the last month declaring their view that Maryland's new gun control law is unconstitutional. Cecil's council kicked off the trend with a resolution stating its intent that no county resources be used to enforce the law. Harford took a more moderate tack, with its councilmen merely urging more study of the constitutionality of the law.

  6. Roots of fan passion differ in US and Europe, which help explain lack of racial incidents here

    AP National Writer
    Imagine Derek Jeter leading the New York Yankees off the field because opposing fans were yelling racial slurs and throwing bananas at his team. Or a game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls halted because of unrelenting race-baiting from the crowd....

  9. Immigration bill a testament to compromise

    The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday to send the bipartisan immigration bill — more formally known as the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernizing Act — to the full Senate. The 800-plus page bill is by far the most ambitious attempt to overhaul the nation's immigration system in nearly three decades. The version that will reach the floor is, not surprisingly, imperfect, but the fact that it emerged from committee at all, and largely intact, is a testament to both political parties' willingness to compromise — a characteristic that has been in short supply in Washington for a long time.

  10. Julian Bond: Race relations progress still has long way to go

    I have always suspected racists didn't like being called out for their racism. Now I have proof.  When I told MSNBC's Thomas Roberts on May 14th that the tea party was "the Taliban wing of American politics", a firestorm erupted.  Arguing the IRS was...

  12. Illinois business urges federal court to lift contraception mandate

    Lawyers for two Roman Catholic-owned companies in Illinois and Indiana argued before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago on Wednesday that a law forcing them to include birth control in their employees' benefits would violate their First Amendment rights.
