	Maluku (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Although cultures varied across this dispersed group of islands, there is a sense in which the Moluccas were a cosmopolitan society, in that traders from across the region took residence in Moluccan settlements, or in nearby enclaves, to conduct spice business.
		The commencement of Indonesian transmigration of (mainly) Javanese populations to the outer islands (including the Moluccus) during the 1960's is thought to have aggravated independence and issues of religious / ethnic politics.
		Its provisional capital is Ternate, on a small island to the west of the large island of Halmahera, although it is not particularly stable.

	The New York Review of Books: The Royal Family
		Babar's history began in Paris in 1931, when the pianist Cecile de Brunhoff invented a bedtime story about a baby elephant for her sons, who were then five and six years old.
		As in Babar the King (1933), the inhabitants all have different and appropriate trades: the pelican, with his large beak, is a postman; the pheasants are tailors; the long-legged flamingo and stork are dancers; the parrot and the peacock are actors; the vulture is a butcher; and chickens manage the dairy.
		This is true: Babar's mother is shot by a hunter, the previous king of the elephants dies by eating a poisoned mushroom, and soldiers are wounded in battle.

		Justice officials say they learned of Babar's activities in part through a highly contentious method: monitoring his Internet use at a New York City public library, where he allegedly exchanged messages with Qaeda confederates abroad.
		Arrested in Long Island City last April, Babar flipped, pleaded guilty and told the Feds about an ongoing plot to blow up London pubs and train stations.
		Ashcroft says Babar's cooperation shows how the threat of fixed, lengthy prison terms produces valuable intel about terror plots—a tool he warned could be jeopardized by last week's Supreme Court ruling overturning federal sentencing guidelines.
