...freer than the Chinese. They can live well and have fun. They can read, watch, say what they like and access the Internet." Perhaps unsurprisingly, in polls Putin's approval ratings are high, nearly 70%. But these positive trends coexist with many signs that Russia is stumbling on the path toward free-market democracy - so much so that some U.S. and European legislators and human-rights groups want to kick it out of the G-8. Russia's postcommunist transition was always going to be slow and erratic, but what worries many experts now is that the direction of travel...

It's a problem that goes deeper than Putin: his approach has won substantial popular support, which means that any successor will likely continue along his path.

Classical gardens don't get much finer than those at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Designed by Capability Brown in the 18th century, the grounds are so grand it's said they inspired Jane Austen's vision of Mr. Darcy's home in Pride and Prejudice; Chatsworth was used as the set of his house for last year's film...
...insurgency.) U.S. interests both in stabilizing Iraq and in limiting Iranian influence there depend on drawing the majority of the Sunni community into a new national consensus. But unless the bulk of the insurgents who are mounting most of the daily attacks on Coalition forces are offered a path back into Iraq's political life on terms supported by their community, there's little chance of the new government succeeding where its predecessors have failed. The move to indemnify and recognize the legitimacy of armed "resistance" against U.S. troops is strongly backed by the main Sunni parties in the Iraqi...
