...Blunkett has already repaid $340 for free rail travel enjoyed by Quinn, which was was meant to be reserved for M.P.s' spouses. In another incident, he sent two senior Home Office civil servants to a meeting between Quinn and her lawyers when news of the affair was about to break. Most damaging, he is alleged to have fast-tracked the visa renewal of the Quinns' former nanny, though the evidence is inconclusive and he strenuously denies it; the matter is now being officially investigated.

Even so, no U.S. Administration will keep smiling if the Kremlin continues its campaign to stifle the press and opposition. INTERNATIONAL LAW Europe has grown restive with U.S. disdain for treaties and bodies that...
...materials now remove the contradiction between big and efficient: cars can be big but also light and safe, saving oil and lives without compromising comfort or pep. For example, a midsize SUV made of carbon fiber could cut fuel use 72%, and the vehicle's extra cost could be repaid from fuel savings in about three years. Our proposals would expand car buyers' range and freedom of choice and increase automakers' profits and competitive strength. Amory B. Lovins, CEO Rocky Mountain Institute Old Snowmass...
