Officers from a rival organized-crime squad came to Berezovsky's headquarters to arrest him and search for documents. But in the doorway, with his pistol drawn, Litvinenko held off eight of them armed with Kalashnikovs, while Berezovsky furiously phoned allies at the Kremlin. Berezovsky said he and Litvinenko became "like brothers" that night...
...Petersen-Sundquist campaign faced budget-hampering penalties yesterday after committing campaign infractions involving postering, e-mailing, and financial reporting.But all of this seemed commonplace compared to accusations leveled against the rival Hadfield-Goldenberg campaign earlier this week for a showier, more high-flown gaffe—baton twirling.“Somebody complained that a campaign was using a baton–a twirler’s baton–in front of the Science Center, and they were not reporting the baton as a campaign expense,” said Joshua G.
