Extractions: Further, the ECOS-report cites concrete figures for the numbers of civilians affected by the depopulation policy, and on the tactics employed by government and pro-government forces to achieve their target of depopulation. Aside from claiming that thousands of people have been killed in these war campaigns, - the report estimates that 80 thousand persons have been forced to flee from Ruweng county, and that another 50 thousand have been driven out from Western Upper Nile. Many of these refugees, the ECOS report states, are threatened with acute food shortages. Whereas the Sudanese civil war in the past used to be a low budget war fought by ragtag armies, - the war in recent years has developed into modern counter-insurgency warfare between asymmetric parties where the population sits on the loosing side. Thus, the depopulation campaigns, carried out since 1999 with the help of helicopter gunships, bombers and tanks, have been specially gruesome, ECOS observers write.

Extractions: Alexander Gardner owned one of the few galleries which rivaled Mathew Brady's in illustrious clientele and prestige. He was Scottish-born and emigrated to New York in 1856 when he was 35 years old. Once there, he found employment in Brady's studio, where he introduced the Woodward solar camera, which allowed for the enlargement of photographic portraits. He was manager of Brady's gallery in Washington, D.C., until 1862, when he left to enter the business of mass-producing carte de visite photographs (small photographic portraits used as calling cards). Early in the war, Gardner was the official photographer of the Army of the Potomac, after which he established his own galleries in Washington and New York. Among Gardner's distinguished sitters were President Lincoln and his secretaries, John G. Nicolay and John Hay. Gardner's portraits of Lincoln and his son, Tad, taken in April of 1865, were the last before the President's death. He also documented Lincoln's funeral and the execution of the assassination conspirators. Soon after the war, Gardner published his Photographic Sketch Book of the Civil War , closed his Washington gallery, and went West to photograph the route of the Union Pacific Railroad. It was at this time that he captured some of the most renowned scenes of westward expansion as card stereograph views. By 1873 he had set up the first Rogues' Gallery at the Metropolitan Police headquarters in Washington and continued to be active until he died in 1882 of what physicians diagnosed as "an obscure disease."

Extractions: Click here to get the Daily Briefing in your inbox 02/08/2001 - Updated 07:50 PM ET 'Real people history' covers entire Civil War By Gregg Zoroya, USA TODAY The life-size diorama at the National Civil War Museum, which opens here Monday, captures the instant of death for a young artillery officer who refused to abandon his cannon at Gettysburg, even as onrushing Confederates of Pickett's Charge gunned him down. Ten paces from this display, another full-scale depiction has a wounded cavalryman writhing in pain as a field doctor begins amputating his gangrenous leg. And on the floor above, the re-creation of a slave auction offers up human anguish, right down to a tear trickling down the face of a child for sale. "I call it 'real people' history," says George Hicks, 54, the museum's chief executive, a portly fireplug of a man partial to monogrammed French cuffs and the careful spinning of an evocative yarn. "These are real-life mannequins, and they're going to look you square dead in the eye in many cases. And they're going to get you." This city-operated gallery, in a hilltop setting with a spectacular view of the Susquehanna River Valley, is billed as the first museum devoted to telling the entire Civil War story. And doing it with almost surgical objectivity.
