WASHINGTON - Last month, the walls of the Libyan Embassy on the seventh floor of the Watergate office building here were barren. Hazy penumbras of dirt showed where portraits of Moammar Gadhafi had hung. A lone travel poster touting a visit to the Roman ruins of Tripoli survived the purge of wall hangings after Libya's revolution - and even that poster had had to be altered: Masking tape covered Gadhafi's name for his country, the Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, the last word of which meant "state of the masses. I don't want to see this name anymore," says Ali Aujali, and because he is Libya's ambassador to the United States, he gets to decide what goes on the walls.

His armed forces would go on to suffer defeat in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 under his leadership. Not content with oppressing hi...

Alec English (cute kid, but no relation) just spent 19 days in the United Kingdom as a People to People Student Ambassador. People to People was founded in 1956 by President Dwight D.

The student must also pay expenses for the overseas trips People to People organizes. Alec doesn't know who nominated him, but two teachers and a Boy Scout leader gave recommendations, and once he was accepted, the fundraising began. Alec's grandmother, Janet Monday, sold candy bars while he sold pasta. ...
