...situation would have been resolved. But it is not too late. I think the chances are good for a resolution even within a year. You've been a government critic most of your life. Why not run for office? [Laughs.] Politics, I believe, is a full-time occupation. [Former Czech President] Vaclav Havel had to make that decision, [which] took him in a particular direction. My decision has taken me in the opposite direction. Let them do all the dirty work! Nigeria is an incredibly rich country, sitting on a lot of oil, and yet it has lived through...
...national anthem. That is to say, they actually sang the words - must have been a well-educated bunch - and produced a massive American flag. It was, in fact, quite moving. Sam's Army, as they are known, were ready for battle, and more than a match for the Czech fans who outnumbered them in the stands...
...Within 5 minutes, the 6-foot-8-inch giant stork who plays striker for the Czechs, Jan Koller, beat two U.S. defenders to a cross and put the Czechs ahead 1-0. It was the beginning of a long night.

Britain has the seventh highest divorce rate in Europe, 2.8 a year for every 1,000 people, according to Eurostat (at top is the Czech Republic). But is Britain about to leap up the chart? It could. Landmark rulings by Britain's House of Lords last week may, some lawyers predict, make England and Wales a divorce magnet, because the rulings have been so generous to financially dependent spouses. In one case, the judges upheld a $9.4 million award to a woman who'd been married to a fund manager worth $60 million. In the second case, the judges lifted...
