...chill in relations between the U.S. and Russia, which is making it difficult for the U.N. Security Council to meet 21st century collective-security challenges. Putin has used the Kosovo standoff as yet another excuse to flaunt his petro-powered invincibility, sending his likely successor, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev, to Belgrade to sign a gas agreement. If a firm international response is to be mobilized toward Iran, Sudan or other trouble spots in the coming years, the U.S. will have to find a way to persuade Russia to become a partner rather than a rival in improving collective security...

"I give people music and beauty," he once said. "In exchange they give me love and recognition...
...London to test the evidence that led British prosecutors to their move. Ninety percent of the world's polonium 210 comes from a single facility in Russia. Investigators found traces of polonium 210 not only in Britain but also in Hamburg, at locations visited by Lugovoi's associate Dmitri Kovtun, the day before Kovtun and Lugovoi attended a meeting with Litvinenko at London's Millennium Hotel. Kovtun has not been charged...
