...Barack Obama took a premature victory lap today in the heart of Berlin, proclaiming himself a 'citizen of the world,' John McCain continued to make his case to the American citizens who will decide this election," the statement read. "Barack Obama offered eloquent praise for this country, but the contrast is clear. John McCain has dedicated his life to serving, improving and protecting America. Barack Obama spent an afternoon talking about...
...outstanding mysteries. What's telling now in the Belgrade operation is who took the credit for finding Karadzic - and who did not. "We have just jumped over a big hurdle on the pathway toward European integration," said Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac, a member of Tadic's Democratic Party. By contrast, the government's junior coalition partner, the Socialist Party of Serbia - once led by former Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic - was less effusive. Its leader, Ivica Dacic, heads the Interior Ministry, which pointedly denied that police had been involved in Karadzic's arrest...
...characters' antics are ''obviously unacceptable and not to be emulated in real life.'' Starting Tuesday, moreover, the network will switch the show from 7 p.m., when young children are more likely to watch, to 10:30 p.m. (It also runs at 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.) Howard Stern, by contrast, had a terrific week.

Crowds lined up around the block in midtown Manhattan...
...elections scheduled for next spring. The Socialists are expected to try to forge a partnership with Waldheim's People's Party, renewing the popular coalition that governed Austria from 1945 to 1966. The ''back to the future'' sentiments should give Waldheim an easier time on the domestic front. By contrast, the determined efforts of war-crime investigators are likely to plague the President-elect for a long time to come...
...best interpretation is the one that lets the music speak most directly to the listener. Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2. Christopher Hogwood conducting the Academy of Ancient Music (L'Oiseau-Lyre). Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 2 and 7. Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra (RCA). No greater contrast can be imagined. Original Instrument Specialist Hogwood offers light, fleet, graceful performances that explicitly evoke Beethoven's classical- period roots. Toscanini, on the other hand, is rough and hard charging in these readings from 1949 and 1951. Once, Toscanini's Beethoven was Beethoven, as surely handed down from on high...
