...Jefferson's private secretary. Like Jefferson, Lewis had lost his father at an early age; now he was in daily contact with the President, who was practically a surrogate father to him. Lewis told Clark that Jefferson had placed him in charge of a mission to explore "the interior of the continent of North America, or that part of it bordering on the Missourie & Columbia Rivers." Moreover, Lewis wanted Clark to be his co-commander...
...kids on a 10-city "Spirit of Friendship" tour to, in the actor's words, "reach out, to cross borders, make contact" (and generate some publicity for Qantas). Travolta, who has a pilot's license, bought a Qantas Boeing 707 four years ago and lavishly redesigned its interior. The airline kicked in a fresh coat of paint and some flight training--though, if a stunt double is needed, a back-up crew will be on board...
...turned the gaffe into something of an art form. Since taking office 13 months ago, the Prime Minister and his key officials have managed to make rude or politically incorrect remarks about everything from the euro to Islamic civilization.

Scajola, under fire for not having provided Biagi with a security detail, suggested...
...this exurban behemoth (larger than the city of Denver itself, it covers 53 sq. mi.), with its tentlike spires and cavernous, convention-hall interior, has its user-unfriendly quirks. Passengers who are dropped off at the airport by cab or rental-car van find themselves, for some odd reason, at the exit. To reach the ticket counter, they have to lug their bags up an escalator. The three gate concourses are connected by a train system that is fast and convenient-except when it's not working (which lately has not been very often and usually for only short periods...
...Because crime scence security was non-existent - a policeman sat in the driver's seat and used the bloody steering wheel to drive the limping vehicle away - few answers are likely to be found in the destroyed interior. More, however, may be gleaned elsewhere. One question is what happened to the guards on the gate, eight to ten of whom were taken into police custody as witnesses. Doctor Zia, the chief of police district nine, which covers the ministry compound, said that the guards had left their post for a lunch break at the time of the attack. They belonged...
