...half-dozen suites, the first is by far the most melodic and novice-friendly. In the resonant key of G major, Wispelway's cello soared as he tenderly executed the audible and pleasant arc up to the final G of the prelude. Particularly impressive was his rendering of the rocket fast Courante in the second suite. Shallow, Lamaze-style puffs were audible as Wispelwey frantically kept pace with the technical demands of double and triple stopped crotched chords in an actually quite introspective piece...

It employs a dozen doctors and psychiatrists to review videos of world leaders for signs of physical or mental ailments: weight changes, pale skin, unsteady gait, even wrinkles on ear-lobes (one indication of heart problems). For example, agency physicians privately concluded that the late French President Francois Mitterrand had cancer more than a decade before he made it public. But on July 3, on the morning of the Russian presidential vote, the CIA received a call from Clinton aides: Why hasn't Boris Yeltsin been seen...
