...affluent Russians who make the city their home. London is 31% foreign born, profiting from successive waves of the ultrarich--American bankers, Arab sheiks, Hong Kong Chinese. Now the Litvinenko case is making some Brits wonder whether the city has turned into Moscow-on-Thames, overly populated by secret agents and those who have struck it lucky at the roulette wheel of the former Soviet Union's rude, oil-soaked brand of capitalism...
Whether Londoners will tolerate the importing of secret agents and weird poisons is another question. But with so much money sloshing around, Russians are bound to keep coming to Londongrad.

The State Department didn't know in advance of Kissinger's first secret trip to the mainland. And it was Kissinger, not Rogers, who was present for the one-hour meeting between Nixon and Mao. But in reviewing the final communiqu?, which failed to include a reference to a defense treaty with Taiwan, the State Department insisted on revision-and thus got revenge...
...tolerate an unfavorable election result. The electoral council is tilted towards Chavez allies, while the government has pressured state employees to support the President and has used state television to promote him. But the only director on the council sympathetic to the opposition assures that voting will be secret and that any fraud can easily be detected. If irregularities do occur, observers from the Organization of American States, the European Union and the Carter Center will be watching...
