...student at Gallaudet University in Washington called that year's protests demanding a deaf president of the school the "Selma of the deaf." Founded in 1864, Gallaudet is the deaf world's premier institution, and yet it had never been led by a deaf person.

...Paul Forrell, a Swedish border official, described to Grey in January 2005 how the Gulfstream V jet N379P, also registered to Premier Executive Transport, touched down at Bromma, an airport used for small aircraft, one night in December, 2001, while he was on duty. They were there to collect two Egyptian asylum-seekers living in Stockholm, whose deportation to Cairo had been approved earlier that day by Swedish cabinet members. On board the jet were American men wearing black ski masks - who joined two men in business suits, who introduced themselves as coming from the U.S. Embassy, in Forrell...
