The World Next Week is back!  Bob McMahon and I talked about disputes between the U.S. and its partners in the Libya intervention; Japan’s ongoing nuclear crisis; and Apple’s thirty-fifth anniversary.

The highlights:

Bob and I aren’t the only commentators debating these issues. Reuters reviews the specifics of the U.S. involvement in the North African nation, and the Washington Post reports on the coalition’s compromise solution for continued maintenance of the no-fly zone. The Economist wonders how long the economic impact of the earthquake and associated calamities will last, and Reuters reviews the recent developments in Japan’s battle to stem a nuclear crisis. MacObserver fills readers in on Apple’s history, and Clyde Prestowitz delivers the disappointing news that while Apple is an American company, no the iPhone is not made in America.
