...killed some 140 people - Musharraf declared a state of emergency, suspending the constitution and sending his troops into the streets to bludgeon protesters. Bhutto was placed under house arrest but vowed to stand in parliamentary elections set for Jan. 8. When allowed to leave her home, she campaigned with gusto. But as she left a campaign rally in Rawalpindi on Dec. 27, shots were fired near her SUV - and moments later, a suicide bomber detonated himself only yards away. The precise cause of her death remains in doubt, but she was gone, and with her, Washington's latest hope...
...this stricken cityscape, the truly malevolent -the Judge and his Beadle (Timothy Spall, that Hogarth cartoon of an actor, here more rodentoid than usual) - find their appropriate end. But so does the merely preening Pirelli, "the barber of kings, the king of barbers," impersonated with gusto by Sacha Baron Cohen.

Exiled to the West in 1974, Rostropovich earned mass admiration, and a king's fortune. When he became music director of America's National Symphony Orchestra three years later, TIME put him on its cover, branding him, with cold-war gusto, "Washington's greatest new monument." But he always maintained a refugee's yearning for his homeland, and this only intensified the pathos of his playing. His Paris apartment was a veritable Hermitage of Russian artifacts, and even after he was stripped of his citizenship, he proudly described himself as Russian, an allegiance he affirmed by flying to Moscow earlier...
