But Koval's reckoning of future wealth turned sour early this year when it started looking as if a government decree requisitioning his property for Olympic development could render his home and source of income all but worthless. "The prospect of confiscation has killed the real estate market in the area," says Koval. "Who is going to buy if we all know that the state takes over?"

But the issue may be more than simply technical: given Musharraf's opposition to the return of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as head of the judiciary - which would raise the prospect of Musharraf's ouster on legal grounds - a restoration of the judges could provoke a backlash. Zardari's party is more willing than Sharif is to work with Musharraf, who still enjoys considerable support within the military and from the U.S. (which sees him as a reliable ally...
