...Moscow has helpfully suggested that its own authorities investigate the crime - an offer met with skepticism in Britain, given that Litvinenko, on his deathbed, blamed the Kremlin itself for his fate. His accusation has fed fears that Russia increasingly operates by its own rules. That's a view promulgated by billionaire Boris Berezovsky, an opponent of President Vladimir Putin.

President Bush famously said that "Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande." For him, a love of family was an important common bond between Mexican and American culture. But the fate of his immigration reform now rests on whether he can partner with Republican Senator John Kyl to persuade Congress to replace the U.S.'s decades-old system of family-based immigration in favor of a skill-based program.
