There are several stories in the book about you being hurt by the actions of church members, such as when your husband was removed from a leadership position. How difficult has that been? It's unfortunate. I feel my relationship with God is strong enough that when other Christians have treated me wrongly, I can sort it out and know that's not God.

Ministers in Westminster duly conveyed these threats to Edinburgh. Labour and the Scottish Nationalists are fierce opponents.

...Amid all the behind-the-scenes recriminations, Britain's relationship with the U.S. feels that little bit less special. Gaddafi may have boosted his domestic popularity, but the affair has done little to burnish his image abroad. "Given the original intent [to anchor Libya more firmly in the international community], it will be interesting to see how Libya's relations with the world are affected," says former special adviser Owen. The star guests at the Sept. 1 celebration in Tripoli to mark the 40th anniversary of the coup that brought Gaddafi to power were two of the world's most...
