Moderates look to Powell for that. Says a British diplomat: "We view him as someone who will be proved right in the end." But two weeks ago in Moscow, arms-control envoy Bolton implied that Bush wanted the "ranch summit" with Putin in November to constitute a deadline for a deal. Only hours later, Washington officials insisted that it was a mistranslation, but rumors still swirl of an impending deadline "a very few months away." An official deeply involved in the issue tells TIME, "There'll be something by Crawford, because the President is never wrong...
...Powell's staff, and he thought it was good politics not to protest too much. A few he actively blocked, like a Rumsfeld protEgE pushed for ambassador to NATO. Others languish in confirmation limbo. But some made it inside, and stir up trouble for him, like Star Warrior John Bolton in the powerful position of Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. Powell insists he had a "free hand" to pick from nominations. "Where we had a meeting of the minds, and the person and I looked like we could work together well, I made a deal...
...announcing that the United States would definitely pull out of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.

Last Monday, Gamba Osaka's star midfielder Junichi Inamoto, 21, joined English Premier League giants Arsenal in a deal worth a reported $5.5 million. The week before, Bolton Wanderers, another Premier League side, took Cerezo Osaka's Akinori Nishizawa, 25, on a 10-month loan. Across the North Sea, Urawa Reds' midfielder Shinji Ono, 21, signed a reported $4 million deal with first division Dutch side Feyenoord. In Italy, A.C. Parma paid league champion A.S. Roma a cool...
...that the Premier League's newfound appetite for Japanese players has as much to do with balance sheets as it does ball skills. Having a Japanese player on the squad could yield a club rich revenues in TV broadcast deals and kit sales in Japan. Why else would Bolton sign Nishizawa, goes the argument, after the player had just returned to Japan from an unremarkable spell at Spanish side R.C.D. EspaNyol? And how much playing time will Inamoto get in an Arsenal midfield that already boasts players like Robert Pires and?for now, anyway?Patrick Vieira? When English side West...
