...commented a New Yorker, "this war was not the heroic struggle that was engaged in to defeat Hitler in World War II." A Tokyo reader agreed, saying, "To equate the fall of Saddam with that of Hitler is an insult to the millions slaughtered by the Nazis." But one Canadian put it in vivid sports terms: "Comparing Hussein with Hitler is like comparing a minor-league hockey player with the all-time great Wayne Gretzky...
...review of Saudi official declarations by TIME revealed half a dozen references to Sultan's donations as being "personal." The Saudi Press Agency, a wing of the Ministry of Information, lists $266,000 donated by Sultan to the International Islamic Relief Organization as a "personal" contribution. U.S. and Canadian authorities say they have linked this charity to terrorism.

A roll-up-your-sleeves manager, Tellier took over the moribund, government-owned Canadian National Railway Co. in 1992 and turned it into a lean and efficient publicly traded market leader. He did that by cutting costs (including 14,200 jobs) and eliminating real estate and telecom divisions to focus on rail. Tellier knows Bombardier, having served on its board for the past five years. Besides dumping its highly profitable recreational division as well as ancillary businesses like military...
