...there is nothing in Musharraf's demeanor that shows he is rattled. With his confident, square-shouldered gait, Musharraf, 61, moves like a veteran prizefighter.

You know the saying ?the calm before the storm'? That's him - and there is a storm." It stirred in 2002, when Fridman came back to the sport and won the world championship. But rumors...
...interview with Mugabe admiring him; I left with the suspicion that he was insincere," Meldrum told TIME. In Where We Have Hope (John Murray; 272 pages) he describes how he ultimately found Mugabe to be a strangely un-African leader, lacking in warmth and painfully formal in speech and demeanor. He concluded that Mugabe had not only taken over the dowdy office décor of Ian Smith, the Prime Minister of white-ruled Rhodesia; he also displayed the same aversion to political opposition and an independent media and judiciary.
