4) This week's summary of under-reported news

Compiled by Bob Nixon

•\tThe nuclear cooperation agreement between India and the United States is falling apart as Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh faces stiff opposition from leftist members of his governing coalition.

•\tThe U.S. Supreme Court has halted a second execution in what amounts to an unofficial moratorium on the use of lethal injection until the high court rules on the constitutionality of the execution method.

•\tBefore launching his presidential bid, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani merged his consulting business with the powerful energy law firm Bracewell & Patterson, which has strong ties to Texas oil and the Texas Republican political machine.
