...Klebanov, Deputy Prime Minister and head of a commission investigating the sinking. It was all over, he said on Thursday, "in the space of two minutes, more or less." The tapping out of SOS signals in Morse code indicated that some crew members survived for a time in the stern sections of the boat, but Admiral Vyacheslav Popov, commander of the Northern Fleet, admitted on Friday evening that no tapping had been heard from the sub since Aug. 14, two days after the accident...

Both her parents were Holocaust survivors. A graduate of Stern College, the women's school of Orthodox Yeshiva University in New York City, she helps raise money for women's health care in Israel and keeps a kosher household, with separate plates for meat and dairy dishes.

For years, the Connecticut senator and professional scold has given out "Silver Sewer Awards" to the Hollywood productions deemed most offensive, castigated smutty broadcasters like Howard Stern and Jerry Springer and generally impugned the moral responsibility of the same Hollywood bigs who will be feting and writing checks to the Democrats all week at the convention in Los Angeles. And Wednesday night, he'll exercise his right to free expression on television - the very medium that he's spent...
