...young Sydney girl went to the movies to see Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story. Like any other member of her generation, Bernadette must have been struck by the elegance of this tomboy with wide brown eyes.

Other than the fact that Klebnikov's murder was a contract killing, nothing is clear - not even how many bullets struck him on the evening of July 9, as he walked to a nearby metro station. Work is the likely motive. Journalism is a high-risk profession in Russia. Twenty-one reporters - all, except Klebnikov, Russian citizens - have been killed in the line of duty since 2000, including two so far this...
