...Canadian counter-intelligence service claims Hampel was an agent for the SVR, successor to the cold-war-era KGB, Canadian security experts say part of Hampel's espionage "legend" - the false identity and public trail he allegedly established through nefarious means - does not entirely match the old KGB modus operandi. KGB agents would be reluctant to use the records of an existing citizen for the foundation of a spy's fabricated life...
...also occasionally collaborated with Western singers, including Boy George and Michael Stipe of R.E.M., and she opened a restaurant, Asha's, in Dubai in 2002. (She has said that if she didn't make it as a singer she would have been a cook.)

McDonald ’07, a Crimson magazine editor, is a biology concentrator in Currier House. In Spain, he learned that both Catalán and Castellan mean little when ordering tapas...
...Republican nominations for Senate this year. (The G.O.P. seems intent on running a hapless benchwarmer named Alan Schlesinger for the seat.) No politician is exempt from hubris, and so there may be something to the theory. But an almost saintly civility has always been part of Lieberman's modus operandi. His unflappable strength in facing down extremists of both parties-on issues ranging from welfare reform to immigration, the environment, education reform and Hollywood's frequent excesses-has been an elegant demonstration of political independence and flagrant humanity over the years. The real problem with Lieberman's position on Iraq...
