Though he says he "didn't do much protesting," Dean opposed the Vietnam War. So it was fortunate that officials at the U.S. Army garrison at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn gave him a deferment because of a minor back problem.

But after graduating from Yale in 1971, Dean--who didn't want to follow his friends to law school--spent a year skiing and bumming around Aspen, Colo.

At a time when the classical-music industry faces a glut of recordings in the core repertoire, the Verbier alchemy can produce gold...

But while the Niger yellowcake story is at the center of a growing Washington brawl over who knew what when, they're something of a minor footnote in Blair's domestic political crisis. The British leader arrived to receive Washington's plaudits at a moment when his standing among his own people has reached an all-time low - and for the same reason that Washington is honoring him: his unflinching support of the U.S. on Iraq...
