...five other witnesses who had been subpoenaed with Todd Palin were also, as expected, missing from the Alaska Senate Judiciary Committee's hearing into the so-called Troopergate scandal.

When told about the dispute, a top strategist for a rival G.O.P. campaign said of the scruffy Paul forces: "They probably...
Vasella keeps a keen eye on his cherished drug business from an elegant second-floor office in the old Sandoz headquarters. On a counter behind his black leather chair are a pair of ancient Egyptian vases, a sword from the Han dynasty and a large blue-green bust of Buddha from the Tang dynasty. An avid collector of Oriental art, he recently bought a 13th century Tibetan statue of Buddha made of gilded bronze, which he keeps at his home in Zug.
