...Russia at a very interesting time right now, politically. Have people treated you differently as a result of the diplomatic tensions over the Georgian invasion? Not at all. Not at all on this side. But I agree with you it's been fascinating to be here during this period politically. For example, you know what Americans always describe, universally, as the Georgian invasion, is not a term that would ever be used over here. I know that I personally do not truly understand the issues involved in this very complicated international situation. However, I don?t think anyone...
...reminded of who and what we think we were, not who we are. But yearning for our past, real or imagined, will not bring it back.

Malaysia's parliament, which has taken a break during the Muslim fasting period, reconvenes Oct. 13. At that point, Anwar has said he will try to place a no-confidence motion against Abdullah...
...trial in the Coliseum case is scheduled to begin in February, and the defendants face maximum prison sentences of three years. At this stage it looks like a their-word-against-ours standoff, unless the security camera footage can be marshaled as evidence for one side or the other. Defense lawyer Daniele Stoppello has demanded access to the footage, even as he conceded that since the lighting was poor, the carabinieri could arrive at a "different interpretation" of what the camera showed the two men doing. Currently it's a moot point, since the prosecuting magistrate has ruled the footage...
