Loathing of Bush has also brought new players into big-time politics--among them, billionaire financier George Soros. In interviews, the immigrant who grew up under Nazi and Soviet rule in Hungary has gone so far as to compare Bush's us-or-them attitude to what he saw around him as a child. Soros has pledged $15.5 million to one of Rosenthal's groups and others working to oust the President, and he has made it clear he plans to give even more. When the Washington Post asked Soros a few weeks ago whether he would spend everything...

The seizure, one of the largest in the world this year, rekindled fears of a terrorist market for this kind of material. All Polled Out SERBIA-MONTENEGRO Serbia's ruling coalition dissolved itself after its candidate in the presidential ballot was out-polled by an ultranationalist...
...Soviet Union, the destination of Hunt’s last intercontinental voyage, no longer exists, but the memory lives on. “The last time I flew, the one thing I hated about it was being enclosed like that,” he says, his voice lowering. “It’s just you have no control. I mean, once you’re up there…” He trails off into edgy laughter...
