...Your Son Has Violated Sacred Principles. The fact that Charles and Camilla are proven adulterers is no concern of mine. I'm no moralist, and I'm also a realist.

The two men, whose identities were not revealed, are "a little above the rank of major or lieut. colonel," Torshin declared. If the men are guilty, their high rank would be more surprising than the fact that the rebels had penetrated law-enforcement agencies. Chechen guerrillas and their allies in the North Caucasus boast that they buy weapons from the Russian army and are assisted...
