Inside the 6 May edition

Let's play spot the news story. It wasn't difficult this week.

We turn over the front page and several inside news and features pages to the killing by US special forces of Osama bin Laden. From analysis, to leader comment, an obituary and a great deal of very fine writing from the Guardian's best, we hope you find the package comprehensive and informative.

We also report from Kampala, where a crackdown fails to halt Ugandan protests, Beijing, where smoking has been banned in public spaces indoors, and Brussels, where France and Italy want national checks restored among 25 countries to counter an influx of north Africans.

In our Review section, we find that women in Congo are being empowered in the face of widespread sexual violence, we wonder how smoking can possibly retain any sort of sexy image, and we explore the paradoxes of Joan Miró.

The main book review looks at red scares and rebel rousers in assessing an account of the cold war.

And shortcuts laments the demise of the manual typewriter, as the last factory to make them sells its final stock. Does that mean I'll have trouble finding a ribbon for my old Olivetti?
