...refusenik central for Washington's aggressive plan to rein in terrorists and bring democracy to the Middle East - he meets all 25 leaders of the E.U. member states, and dines with the refusenik in chief, French President Jacques Chirac. He promenades along the Rhine with German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, then moves on to Bratislava to exchange views, and perhaps a few soulful glances, with Russian President Vladimir Putin...
...Rice also came bearing gifts, including the President's promise to spend $350 million to bolster Palestinian reforms. Bush last week praised the Palestinian Authority in his State of the Union address for "showing the power of freedom to break old patterns of violence and failure." German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder reciprocated by offering to expand his country's training of Iraqi police.

Now it must go through the painstaking process of matching donors to dozens of projects in five countries as well...
...hang onto her 2-year-old. Another woman nearby grabbed the 5-year-old but couldn't hold on, either. Searle "thought he was dead." But two hours later, she found him alive. As the week wore on, Europe's stunned horror gave way to action. German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder cut short his holiday to help direct relief efforts and pledged $27 million in aid; France promised $56 million and sent Foreign Minister Michel Barnier to Thailand; Sweden offered $76 million; and the British government kicked in $96 million. Britons raised another $114 million for a consortium...
