...stand it when we are talked to like that. So I said to the Pope, 'Your Holiness, do you know what my earliest memory is? A pogrom in Kiev. When we were merciful and when we had no homeland and when we were weak, we were led to the gas chambers...
...Prodigal returned: Timothy Leary, 52, the former Harvard lecturer and proponent of high living (via LSD and other drugs) who sneaked out of a California prison in 1970 and has been trying to find a more tolerant homeland ever since. Tossed out of Afghanistan, Leary was collared by U.S. narcs who hustled him back to Los Angeles. Tagging along was his British traveling companion Joanna Harcourt-Smith, 26, who announced: "I'm here to free him. Love is what it takes."

The missions reminded aviators of the last months of World War II in Europe, when bombers prowled the sky striking...
...which reinvest their capital in U.S. securities, has long been Nassau, capital of the Bahamas. It is listed as the place of incorporation for thousands of businesses that actually have their assets elsewhere. Suddenly, much of the world's offshore money-a lot of it hidden from homeland tax men or otherwise "hot"-is fleeing Nassau. Millions of dollars are landing in, of all places, the Cayman Islands, a British crown colony south of Cuba. Once a pirates' stash, the Caymans have existed for the past 300 years mostly by soaking up the Caribbean sun. TIME Correspondent Christopher...
