...been a key adviser in 15 Russian ethnic hate-crime trials, including the current prosecution of six members of the St. Petersburg neo-Nazi group Schultz88 for violent assault. Girenko's work has been crucial in ensuring that racially motivated assaults are classified as hate crimes, rather than mere hooliganism, and therefore warrant harsher sentences. He was gunned down as he was preparing for another trial, this one on charges of inciting racial hatred and violence involving a regional branch of the neo-Nazi Russian National Unity (RNE) party in nearby Novgorod.

In 1974 this half-Swiss, half-Persian daughter of an aristocrat married a Saudi named Yeslam and inherited more than 50 sisters-and brothers-in-law, one of whom was Yeslam's younger half brother Osama bin Laden--then a mere religious zealot she describes as "not strikingly different from the other brothers." In her new book, Inside the Kingdom, bin Ladin details the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia and within the bin Laden clan.
