...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. Some Russians believe in another conspiracy: that Berezovsky, who has claimed asylum in Britain since 2000, engineered Litvinenko's murder to embarrass Putin.

The only reason Mormon doctrine and history are so frequently distorted is because there are relatively few of us. No one would ever say the sort of things about African Americans, Jews, women, Catholics or Protestants that I routinely read about my faith.

...disaffected or just plain lazy students with Internet access and a credit card or money order. But just as the Internet has made it easier for kids to cheat, it's also helping high schools and colleges ferret out the flimflammers. Every day more than 100,000 papers are fed into Turnitin.com a plagiarism-detection site that compares each submission with billions of Web pages, tens of thousands of journals and periodicals and a growing archive of some 40 million student papers. More than 7,000 educational institutions use the system, including Harvard and Oxford. But while Turnitin lets faculty...
