...city has been buzzing with anticipation over Obama's visit, and his reported request to use the Brandenburg Gate as the backdrop for his only public address in Europe sparked a local media frenzy. Chancellor Angela Merkel reacted with "bewilderment" to the Senator's request to speak at this historically charged location and appeared concerned that approving the request would be interpreted as taking sides in the U.S. presidential race. Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, for his part, welcomed the suggestion that Obama speak at a venue rendered iconic by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, saying...

An apathetic crowd of 2,000 Libyans who gathered in Tripoli instead heard a harangue, apparently videotaped earlier, that raised doubts about how much longer the colonel can remain as ''leader of the revolution.'' The nearly two-hour televised address showed an exhausted-looking Gaddafi fidgeting in his chair and speaking in a hoarse voice. His diatribe against the U.S. and Western Europe was devoid of the fiery rhetoric that he has employed in the past to whip crowds into a frenzy. Among other things, he reportedly discussed a controversial...
