Geraldine Ferraro, first woman vice presidential candidate for a major political party, dies at 75. A look back at her life from the NEWSWEEK archives:

Pro-democracy protests in Yemen turned deadly when President Ali Abdullah Saleh's supporters opened fire from rooftops on hundreds of thousands of demonstrators below, killing at least 45 people. Yemen is already plagued with troubles--35 percent unemployment and nearly 50 percent poverty, a rebellion in the north, and a struggle for secession in the formerly independent south. Saleh had announced that he'd leave office in 2013, but protesters remain skeptical and seem to be standing their ground.

The NOAA took 20 years to develop a reliable tsunamograph, an apparatus that provides accurate, real-time data on tsunamis. It consists of an anchored, ocean-bottom pressure recorder and a companion buoy (called DART, for Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis). The recorder, sitting at a depth of up to 5,000 meters, measures changes in pressure due to changes in water level. The recorder transmits acoustic signals to the buoy, which, in turn, relays the measurements of wave height to satellites. This information is then used to forecast the progress of a tsunami. Although each tsunamograph costs a mere $200,000, there are only about 50 in operation worldwide. There are scarcely any in the middle of the Pacific, and practically none in the Indian Ocean. Each dot on the map above represents a single buoy, an object about five feet wide that resembles a flying saucer. Many countries, such as India and Indonesia, have resisted acquiring DARTs from the NOAA out of a sense of ...

Handicapping of the 2012 presidential election is well underway: Obama vs. Huckabee. Obama vs. Romney. Obama vs. Palin. But what if Donald Trump were in the mix? The notion seems only slightly less outlandish after the Donald's splashy (and anything but humble) appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference. And when we asked likely voters in the new NEWSWEEK/Daily Beast poll, we found that some of the GOP's biggest names would be wise to keep an eye out for Trump, who did surprisingly well. Could he play the Ross Perot wild-card role in 2012?
