...case highlights the intense pressure the constant threat of terrorism places on the Met, which leads all counterterrorism investigations in Britain as well as those affecting British nationals abroad. A New York Police Department (NYPD) official who has worked closely with the Met says the scale of London's counterterrorism operation is striking: "The numbers there are just overwhelming - just an astounding number of people they're trying to keep track of." It's not just that his London counterparts have more practice in counterterrorism operations, says Deputy Chief Michael P. Downing, Commanding Officer of the Los Angeles Police Department...
...Solzhenitsyn. Khrushchev was eager to discredit Stalin and consolidate his own power, and Solzhenitsyn's work served his political aims. He became a global literary celebrity. But he quickly outlived his political usefulness, and his next two books, The First Circle and The Cancer Ward, had to be published abroad.

...Johnson (half) jokes, but in defending his right to vacation abroad he also recognizes an unquestionable fact of modern politics: where a leader chooses to holiday is invariably loaded with meaning. It's the reason President Bill Clinton headed for the Wyoming mountains for a vacation in 1996 after his pollster told him his preferred spot, Martha's Vineyard, was seen by swing voters as too snooty. It explains why, in 2003, when an Italian tourism official likened Germans to "stereotyped blonds with hyper-nationalist pride ... who noisily invade our beaches", Germany's then Chancellor Gerhard Schröder nixed...
