Wouldn’t it be nice if you had the right picture of the phone in your article? Nice article, BTW.
P.T.
Yes, it would have been nice. This photo was not a good choice to illustrate this story, and if we did have to use it, the caption should have made clear what readers were seeing: GBU Editor

Your caption calls this a a rifle. In fact, it is a shotgun.

Several readers noticed this one. We corrected: GBU Editor

Amtak does not serve Wyoming. Could the second picture be Green River Utah?

Our caption was correct. The train made a detour through Wyoming because of track work in Colorado, and this was indeed Green River, Wyoming: GBU Editor

I like the “News Map” Flash presentation of events around the world. However, there is an error. On the Map for May 8th, 2008 news for the state of Georgia ( in the United States ) has news for Georgia ( the one that was once part of the USSR ). Yes they have the same name and spelling but pretty bad to confuse the two on a “Global” news Web site.
Just thought Reuters may want to know.John
This feature is still in the development stage. It pretty clearly hasn’t been perfected yet: GBU Editor

Are those mannequins behind the paramilitary policemen?
