Along-smoldering clan war inside the inner circle of Kazakhstan's strongman President, Nursultan Nazar-bayev, has burst into the open. Last month, opposition leader Altynbek Sarsenbayev, 43, and two aides were killed by state security ( knb) officers. The killing exposed rivalries among those bidding to succeed Nazarbayev, 65, Kazakhstan's leader since 1989.

...Developing high-rise living on the riverfront-mixed with single-family housing-means the population of pre-Katrina New Orleans could fit on about half the land it covers now, according to Tulane School of Architecture dean Reed Kroloff. He notes that Washington, D.C., quickly turned around its inner core by offering tax incentives and other inducements for people to return. Inner New Orleans is ripe for a similar rebirth: It has the highest number of blighted and derelict houses-over 30,000-that could bring homeowners and developers back to neighborhoods like Treme, a rundown version of Uptown...
