Children’s Fund said 46 countries were failing to get as many girls as boys into school, and that the global body’s long-term goal of universal education for children was far from a sure thing.

The Bush administration is arguing that the nation must stay the course to prevent Iraq from becoming an oil-rich haven for terrorists and to keep the country from spiraling into a bloody civil war that could destabilize the Middle East.“If they are not stopped, the terrorists will be able to advance their agenda to develop weapons of mass destruction, to destroy Israel, to intimidate Europe, to break our will and blackmail our government into isolation,” President Bush said earlier this month at Alaska’s Elmendorf Air Force Base.

In early trials, the treatment has enabled patients to continue making a portion of the insulin they need for up to two years.
