As both arms buyer and tourist over the years, Pinochet loved to visit...
...Delhi. An aeronautical engineer, Kalam masterminded India's self-reliance in satellite and missile technology. The successful nuclear tests of 1998 made him a national icon. If elected in July, as expected, Kalam will become India's third Muslim head of state. ON TRIAL. ANDREW MELDRUM, 50, American journalist with British newspaper the Guardian, on charges that he intentionally published false information against the Zimbabwean government; in Harare. Meldrum reported a story that claimed a woman had been beheaded by supporters of the Zanu PF, Zimbabwe's ruling party. The police say the killing never took place. Meldrum is being...
