...industrial capital of northwest England. "Gordon Brown," he boomed at each encounter. "What do you think of Manchester?" One of his interlocutors, a party stalwart who has worked with Brown since before Labour swept to power in 1997, quietly reminded him that they were long-standing colleagues. His tousled host shook his mighty head like a bull that had just been pricked by an impudent picador. "Oh," he said, still evidently none the wiser. "Anyway, what do you think of Manchester...
...Joseph Smith's more extravagant assertions. "He was an obvious con man," Weisberg wrote. "Romney has every right to believe in con men, but I want to know if he does, and if so, I don't want him running the country."

As Kleinfeld was making his parting statements, the SEC launched an official investigation into the company. And Siemens conceded that the amount of money siphoned off for bribes at its telecom unit is probably...
...Neighborly cooperation is further complicated by a host of side issues. The Syrian regime is doing less than it could to hinder Iraqi insurgents using Syria as a logistical base, so long as the U.S. continues to squeeze Syria on other fronts. Similarly, Iran, facing a U.S. campaign to strengthen U.N. sanctions over its nuclear program, sees Iraq as a venue to pursue its rivalry with the U.S. for regional influence...
