...Vegas. I'm in Connecticut--heading toward Uncasville, home of the Mohegan Tribal Nation, to be exact. The pale halo I see is the reflection of my own headlights in the enveloping fog. It is 12:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. I have been driving since 10:30 p.m. Saturday. I turn off of I-95, onto Route 2A, southeastern Connecticut's very own boulevard of broken dreams, and then onto Mohegan Sun Boulevard, pipeline to the gaming phenomenon known as Mohegan Sun.

That may be a sign that Chechnya's brutal winter conditions are hampering Russian battle plans by ruling out effective air and artillery strikes, and providing dense fog through which the Chechen fighters are able to maneuver...

We had planned it for two months with some trepidation, aware of the potential for the fog of technology and the insinuation of terrorism. Last weekend all of TIME's bureaus were on alert, and we posted several dozen photographers around the world to record the passing of 1999 into 2000. In Washington, correspondent Sally Donnelly took a New Year's Eve flight with the head of the FAA. Julie Grace...
