Iraq moves to reinstate Baath loyalists in government
Iraq's prime minister and president plan a draft law to allow former Baath Party members, including security and paramilitary forces, to return to government roles after a three month immunity period. The measure aims to broaden inclusion, bypass de Baathification, and could face opposition from Shiite and Kurdish groups at the Arab League summit.

Rome exhibit reveals ancient perfumes from 4000-year-old factory
In Rome at Capitoline Museums an exhibit showcases four perfumes recreated from 14 original fragrances dating to 2000 B C. Derived from Cyprus Pyrgos Mavroraki finds, the scents named Hera Athena Aphrodite Artemis use ancient steeping in water and oil. The display includes amphorae grinders and distilling gear from the well preserved 42,300-square-foot lab, once a full perfume factory with many workers. The show, titled The Perfumes of Aphrodite and the Secret of Oil, opened March 14 and runs to September 2.
