His sentiment may have been shared, at the end of the day, by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, whose London-based soccer team Chelsea was beaten 6-5 on penalty kicks by Manchester United in the European Champion's League final played in the Russian capital. But the banker's complaint was simply that he had no way to move around the Moscow to keep appointments, given the traffic restrictions all over the city to allow smooth passage for the 970 special buses whisking Chelsea and United fans, separately, from airports...

The plebiscite was delayed in Rangoon and the delta, but apparently the junta still expects the region's stricken people to vote on May 24. But the true sentiment of the country cannot be masked by propaganda. If you want to gauge the support for Burma's military leaders, just ask anyone who has seen their neglect of the cyclone's victims. "We have hated our government for 20 years," says travel agent Chin Chin, as she prepares...
