...television in May 1995 when he heard the name. For days, the news had been full of developments in the April 19 Oklahoma City bombing: first, suspect Timothy McVeigh was arrested; then his alleged accomplice Terry Nichols turned himself in. Now the FBI had picked up two men on suspicion of being associates of McVeigh's. Maloney, a real estate agent in the Ozarks, recognized the sound of one of the names--Robert Jacks. But then the drifter's face appeared on the screen. "When I saw him on TV," recalls Maloney, "I knew they had the wrong person...
Even so, there is now the suspicion that the government of China used Asian-American front groups to try to funnel influence money into U.S. politics. That possibility was strong enough that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright expressed her concern to China's leaders in Beijing.

...Smilla comes home from work and finds Isaiah dead, the victim of a fall from their building's rooftop. An accident, the police insist. A murder, her intuition tells her. This suspicion is confirmed by the increasingly hostile behavior of the authorities as she begins to investigate the case. It will come as no surprise to devotees of the paranoid thriller--is there any other kind nowadays?--that the victim is accidentally privy to information that threatens the secret plans of a powerful mining corporation to exploit and sully Greenland's purity. It will come as no surprise to them...
...capital. Meanwhile, residents in the south are flocking to shops to stock up on food and supplies, and several Albanians are trying to flee the country altogether. Albania has seething since mid-January, when failed pyramid schemes left thousands destitute. Defrauded investors took to the streets to protest their suspicion that government officials at least tacitly allowed the schemes to continue and perhaps even profited from them. After protests turned violent, the government declared a state of emergency Sunday evening and enforced a strict curfew, authorizing police to shoot armed rebels who offer resistance...
