...returned to Ferizaj and was selling cigarettes to U.S. troops, who soon realized, as I had, that he'd make a great unofficial translator. It was thanks to his army friends - and his good grades in school - that Dani was picked to introduce Clinton in the President's only speech to the Kosovar people. But Dani's e-mail also revealed the best news of all: his father had survived the war, he wrote, "So my life was lucky...
...framed, centuries-old correspondence between popes and Persian monarchs, including a Nov. 16, 1561, letter in Latin from Pope Pius V to Shah Tahmasp I. The current No. 2 official at the embassy, Vice-Ambassador Ahmad Fahima, said that despite some concern last year about the Pope's provocative speech about Islam in Regensburg, Germany, "relations between Iran and the Holy See are very good."

Then he was into the crowd with a glass of white wine, hugging the friends and colleagues of a lifetime. There was the best man from his wedding 36 years ago; there his best mate from high school; over there his closest confidants since he entered...

Rice is making it clear that in the post-9/11 world of terrorist threats, the U.S. can no longer be complacent about the lack of an Israeli-Arab peace settlement. In a Nov. 4 speech to an Israeli audience in Jerusalem, she pointedly warned about Israel's continuing occupation, saying "the prolonged experience of deprivation and humiliation can radicalize even normal people." She also warned that time is running out. "My fear," she said, "is that if Palestinian reformers cannot deliver on the hope...
