...Sayeed Hassan Olow, 41, the patriarch of his family of nine, each day begins with the household chores. Olow wakes up early at 4 a.m., prepares food for his kids and sends them to school. By 8 a.m. he's already at the Lazimpat café meeting his countrymen, and he returns home only in the evening. Without the legal right to work and a monthly allowance of $55 handed out by the UNHCR, keeping food on the table can be a challenge, and the sense of isolation is strong.

Increasingly, however, Mandela's handlers are fighting back. (See pictures of Nelson Mandela...
...Blagojevich is still campaigning. Despite his fall into the seventh circle of ignominy - perhaps you heard he was impeached as Illinois governor and faces federal corruption charges after allegedly auctioning off Barack Obama's empty U.S. Senate seat - Blagojevich is passing a crystalline afternoon pressing the flesh at a café near his home on Chicago's northwest side, eager to dispel the notion that he's a pariah. In part because Blagojevich is a very good politician, the reception is warmer than you might expect. He embraces an elderly supporter, quizzes a high school track team about its choice...
