My reaction:
According to Michael Miller’s “WORLD AFFAIRS The Age of Innocents,”
It depicts a severe national conflict in Mexico and it raises the very attention
to what happen in the country.
In my opinion, I think it must have been a long-term question that finally broke out in these days. It all originated from the organization which was called cartel. The cartel was something like a trade union, which had powerful strength to provoke a bloody war in Mexico and traded something like drugs or so, just at the south of the American State, and it included the adult and even the young participated in the complicated situation. The members in cartel was ranged very low, and the most horrible was the two small children who did not knew the world any more in Tijuana. We could know what the hell happened to that country from the day they celebrated Mexican Independence Day. It might the beginning of the whole chaos.
Now, the chaotic country pops out the new leader called Calderón's. I think, from my point of view, he will take the strongest measures to suppress the crowd who put the whole country out of order. The leader claims that the military troop may act as police force if it is necessary. What is more astonished to the world is that drug war has at least killed 3,725 persons this year more than the sum total in the past 2 years from 2006.

According to Patricia Zengerle’s”Crisis reverberates from Hungary to Wall Street.”It exposes what, the financial crisis, we are facing now and we encounter the severest economical problem after the the Persian Gulf war.
The economic storm swamps all over the world from Europe to American state and from Russia to Australia. There is no nation in the world can escape this devastating catastrophe. This phenomenon , I think, will not be ended in a short time at least in the recent years.
The news seen in the paper just a few days ago reported the bank, which was ranked at the front of the top banks declared bankrupt and made the bank system in the U.S be in a mess. The consequence also resulted in the serial action. The effect appeared in the stock market ,too. The investor who plunged their hard earning in the trap was heartbroken and they could find their money nowhere. Though the leading countries in business or industry were anxious about solving the terrible problem, it seemed to be time-costing.
The serial impact also posed a threat to a lot of families because the owner who managed a company would like to lower their expenses on the persons. Then, they would do something like job-cutting or job-laying. I think, in my opinion, if the world economic trouble does not be solved the criminal rate will also climb just like the rate of unemployment rate.
We could still pay some attention to what happened in the world like the bankrupt of Iceland or at the edge in Korean. These were the most apparent evidence that the economical recession appear in front of us.

According to By Neil Shea “Fire Season” it summarizes the reason why there are always having fire in late spring and lasts into fall . It also exposes the shortcoming the firefighters confront now.
The so called “Fire season” begins at late spring and lasts into fall. Just like any other natural disaster in other place like tornadoes or earthquakes the fire has claimed a lot of resources in the U.S. But what is the main reason why the fire have caused such high cost this time is the firefighters who rescue the fire use the risky way to extinguish it and the way was usually used to stop the fire.
The way used to put out the fire is called “backburn.” It is a method that the American fire rescuers utilize to quit the fire going on. But the way used this time seems badly because it not only does not stop the fire but, what is worse, give a chance to let the fire glow. What made the problem worse was the wind which suddenly appeared and ruined the whole schedule the firefighters who were optimistic at first planed to do. But, at the last step to think about what the most important reason for this disastrous disaster is originated from the drought coming earlier and the storm arriving later and it is now the most possible answer about this catastrophe.

According to Andrew Martin in "Asia Food Tainting Spreads, Leading to Recall in U.S.", the tanted formula raised a lot of concern in aboard and domestic.

The food contained the chemical -melamine- make everybody anxious around the world.
The U.S Food and Drug Administration first raised the scarced problem.After that,many nationes on the earth banned the food suspected contained toxicant from China.
How this question boomed is the King Car Food was tested having contained food and it is most severe in the infant formula and their instant food.Though many company has recalled their product had sold in the supermarket.The public has been afraid of the nondairy creamer product made from China .
In recent years,the product produced from China has made plenty of problems in the world .I think the China authorities concerned should think of the appropriate policy to deal with the troublesome situation.
