...deepest pleasure lies in the enigma of motivation. Its true that Hanssen made a fair amount of money from the Soviets, but that does not seem to be what's driving him. He just goes on living a modest middle-class existence. Nor does he bear any resemblance to certain Cold War-era spies, who served communist ideology out of some sort of (misplaced) idealism. It was rather the opposite with him. Slowly, it steals across you that he was acting out of the desire to prove just how smart he was, how superior he was to his, well, superiors...
...Today, Kindernöte runs a dozen different groups for several hundred children. Every week, they play soccer, go on field trips together, help each other with homework or just throw a party.

Well, I needed a pair to get through Beijing's fearsome winter so I went down to the Silk Market, one of the emporiums of fakery. For $15, I picked up a pair of solid-looking work boots bearing a famous label. A few months later, I am still wearing the boots. Much...
...past 20 years, getting career-best work out of everyone from the Dixie Chicks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Justin Timberlake--all of whom are vying for Album of the Year at the Grammys on Feb. 11. He's able to do this largely because his teddy-bear sensitivity defies every stereotype of his profession. Unlike Phil Spector, who allegedly motivated the Ramones by having them play at gunpoint, Rubin is neither crazy nor intimidating. Unlike Robert (Mutt) Lange, the obsessive genius behind AC/DC and Shania Twain, he has never ordered 80 consecutive vocal takes...
