31.   Fighting died down Tuesday a few hours after a cease-fire became official but the road to peace remains precarious.

32.   Five roads remained closed in one of the hardest hit area of Jefferson Township, Loock said.

33.   He said that in areas where domestic industry is not adequate to meet market demand, the road would remain open for imports.

34.   Houses built of flimsy materials were destroyed, many roads remain blocked by debris and small bridges were washed away, Langa said.

35.   If the road remains safe for passage, it should help ease the food shortage affecting many Kabul residents, a U.N. official said.

36.   International Olympic Committee spokeswoman Michele Verdier said the roads remain an issue.

37.   Main roads remain busy during the day.

38.   Many key roads remain impassable and the latest downpours have pushed back the date when the refugees will be able to leave crowded, makeshift camps.

39.   Many plowed roads remained narrow and rutted with packed snow and ice.

40.   More remarkably, no arson attacks were reported anywhere in Northern Ireland, and in Belfast every road remained open to commuters.
