...CONFIRMED. GOH KUN, 65, veteran politician and former mayor of Seoul whose anticorruption image earned him the nickname "Mr. Clean"; as Prime Minister; in Seoul. Over the past four decades, Goh has served almost every administration and held various posts, including Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister...
...price?" asks John Matinde, a DJ at SW Radio Africa. "He could come out with a killer of an album - and spend the rest of his life in jail." Tuku knows there's power in what he does and the way he does it. "A musician is not a politician. He is there to entertain," he says. "But a musician is also there to help.

Ghezzi repeats them over and over again, to tragicomic effect...
...traffic, unleashing latent driving demand. The M25 motorway around London, the classic example, was built to allow for 30 years of traffic growth. It was jammed within six months. Traffic is like water: it oozes across all available surface. Damming the flow requires a brave - or suicidal - politician. For better or worse, "Red Ken" Livingstone fits that description. A born Londoner with a common touch and a feisty history, he alone could dare prescribe such rough medicine and have a hope his citizens would swallow it. And so here we are: starting on Monday at 7 a.m., the first...
