...most lethal of Europe's recent disasters, however, was unrelated to the storms that so devastated Central Europe. Tourist settlements near the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk were hit Aug. 8 by tornados and flash floods that destroyed 424 houses and killed 59 people. The death toll there is expected to climb as rescuers get to cars washed away by the floods or crushed by falling trees and buildings. --Reported by Uwe Gunther, Charles P.

...enough chatter about a terrorist attack to scare the pants off top officials. On June 22, the Defense Department put its troops on full alert and ordered six ships from the Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, to steam out to sea, for fear that they might be attacked in port. U.S. officials thought an attack might be mounted on American forces at the nato base at Incirlik, Turkey, or maybe in Rome or Belgium, Germany or Southeast Asia, perhaps the Philippines--anywhere, it seems, but in the U.S. When Independence Day passed without incident, Clarke called a meeting and asked...
...facilities. The country froze its nuclear program under a 1994 agreement with the U.S., in return receiving oil imports and a commitment?backed by South Korea and Japan?to build two light-water nuclear power plants in North Korea.

The U.S. and its partners want to begin...
...past have been disconcerted to discover that a flight to Copenhagen didn't actually land in the Danish capital, but instead flew into the Swedish city of Malm? with a 45-minute bus connection to Copenhagen. Now more and more flyers are staying in the cosmopolitan port, whose old city is surrounded by canals crisscrossed by bridges, rather than using it merely as a drop-off point. Southern Sweden's chamber of commerce executive vice-president, Ingemar Nilsson, says increasing numbers of Britons now "come here to enjoy the clean air and easy access to nature...
Optimism is high in all the areas around the newly busy airports. When Buzz started service to France's bustling port of La Rochelle in March 2001 with four arrivals a week, they were the first international flights ever to land at the little airport. "The impact was immediate," says airport director Thomas Juin. "The traffic was much heavier than we anticipated." By the beginning of 2002 Buzz had increased the flights to nine a week after more than 25,000 people had used the service, spending 35.34 million in La Rochelle's hotels, restaurants, car-rental agencies and other...
