William and Kate Celebrate Dream Wedding
Britain celebrated the royal wedding of William and Kate with a grand
patriotic spectacle. Friday's ceremony also sent out a message: With
these two at the helm as the future king and queen of England, the
monarchy will be less distant from its subjects in the years to come --
and also a little more human.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why Kate Middleton Has a Better Shot at Success
Critics have disparaged the British royal house as a "fur-lined coffin,"
but that doesn't appear to bother Kate Middleton. The future princess
has passed every test to become Prince William's future wife with
aplomb. In contrast to Princess Diana, the commoner has a better chance
of standing up to the intense pressure of royalty than the future king's
mother.

The Watchdog of Tahrir Square Fears for the Revolution
Pierre Sioufi lives high above Tahrir Square in Cairo, in an apartment
that became a headquarters for the uprising against the former regime.
Mubarak's arrest was a triumph for the revolutionaries, but what happens
next?

Slahi's Guantanamo File Full of Dubious Information
The secret file on detainee Mohamedou Ould Slahi, who lived in Germany
for years, exemplifies the failure of the Guantanamo system. His
confession to being a member of al-Qaida was obtained under torture, and
other evidence in the file is also worthless.

Battle Pits Cocoa Speculators against Chocolate Makers
Food commodities -- from wheat to rice to soybeans -- have become
objects of speculation. While cocoa speculators are threatening the
survival of some of Germany's oldest chocolate makers, entrepreneurs in
Ghana are trying to give farmers a larger share of the profits.

Foraging in the Forest with the World's Best Chef
The appetizer consists of juniper twigs in a flower vase, and a main
dish of elk tongue comes to the table with a sheath knife. Copenhagen's
Noma is one of the world's most unusual restaurants. For many gourmets,
it's also the world's best.

Strict Immigration Laws 'Save Denmark Billions'
Denmark's strict immigration laws have saved the country 6.7 billion
euros, a government report has claimed. Even though Denmark already has
some of the toughest immigration laws in Europe, right-wing populist
politicians are now trying to make them even more restrictive.

'Nothing But Bad News for the Middle East Peace Process'
The agreement between the radical Islamists of Hamas and the moderate
Palestinian group Fatah to create a caretaker government has not been
well received in the West. It could provide a necessary impetus in the
Middle East peace process, say German commentators, but only if Hamas
recognizes Israel.
