...catch up with your reading." He spent the rest of his life regretting that lapse. Even before the war ended, British officials dropped plans to prosecute Wodehouse, but the decision was not made public until after his death. He exiled himself to the U.S., where he was viewed with suspicion, and his stories of dukes and butlers were deemed out of touch. "I sometimes wish I wrote that powerful stuff the reviewers like so much, all about incest and homosexualism," he half-joked. Wodehouse lived in near-seclusion in Long Island, New York, with his wife Ethel (their daughter Leonora...
...Zimbabwe. Zimbabwean and South African authorities say the men, who were found aboard a Boeing 727-100, were on their way to topple Nguema's government, and had touched down to collect weapons and ammo. Nineteen other men, including South Africans and Armenians, were arrested in Equatorial Guinea on suspicion of being part of the plot. The self-confessed leader of the Guinean cell, Nick du Toit, on trial in the capital, Malabo, testified last week that he met Thatcher last year, and that Mann and Thatcher had discussed the sale of helicopters for mining operations in Sudan.

...just when the world seemed convinced that the country was competent, Kenteris and Thanou ensnared themselves in what may be history's most elaborate lost-homework story. Kenteris and Thanou have missed tests before (once they were in another country when the people with cups came calling) and suspicion has followed the Greek track team since 2002, when it had nine of the world's 14 drug-test no-shows. The Swedes, curiously, have threatened a walkout if the duo is allowed to compete in their events. But it seemed likely that the I.O.C., which has shown no mercy...
...part of this great experiment. It didn't take Meldrum long to fall in love with Zimbabwe. Initially he idolized Mugabe as the hero of the liberation struggle, but that didn't last long. "I went into my first interview with Mugabe admiring him; I left with the suspicion that he was insincere," Meldrum told TIME. In Where We Have Hope (John Murray; 272 pages) he describes how he ultimately found Mugabe to be a strangely un-African leader, lacking in warmth and painfully formal in speech and demeanor. He concluded that Mugabe had not only taken over the dowdy...
...what may be an even more dangerous development for the President, the announcement of new terrorism alerts so soon after the Democratic Convention invited suspicion that the Administration was cranking up fears to scare voters into sticking with the leader they know. In the TIME poll a surprisingly large 40% of those asked said they believed the Administration was not above using a terrorism alert for political reasons. That sentiment also came through in interviews with likely voters around the country. "I've gotten so I don't believe the Administration [when it puts] out information," said Richard Rasmussen...
