DIED. ZURAB ZHVANIA, 41, influential, reform-minded Prime Minister of Georgia and close ally of President Mikhail Saakashvili; of carbon monoxide poisoning, apparently from a space heater in the apartment of a political acquaintance, who also died; in Tbilisi, Georgia. The bizarre event was a shock--but not unheard of in Georgia, where central heating is scarce and 45 others have died from carbon monoxide in the past three years. A key economic adviser to the President, Zhvania was a leader in the 2003 popular uprising that ousted President Eduard Shevardnadze...

For Kosovo's Serbs and Albanians alike, this week's vote is about more than just...
...Susman, wandering through the buzzing hallways and asking if anyone could spare him a phone line. Which is why one of Cahill's next jobs is to find a new headquarters--say, one where she won't blow the circuit on the computers when she plugs in her space heater. Kerry still has to win the nomination, and Cahill takes nothing for granted. "The thing that is so clear about this election cycle is that you just have to keep on keeping on, because who knows what is going to happen?" she says, flicking into the trash...
