...author of a 1995 biography of Schliemann. The man was also a war profiteer, a dabbler in black markets and a smuggler, whose wheelings and dealings have three nations squabbling more than a century after his death. Schliemann did eventually find the lost city of Troy, near the Turkish coast, but he dug right through the layers corresponding to the Homeric period and largely destroyed them. The Troy he found was at least a thousand years older than he believed...
...will matter much to people who visit Moscow's Pushkin Museum over the next year, though. For all his character flaws and sloppy science, Schliemann still unearthed one of the richest archaeological troves ever found. And beginning this week, 259 of the thousands of objects he dug from the Turkish soil in the late 1800s will go on public display for the first time in 50 years: diadems of woven gold, rings, bracelets, intricate earrings and necklaces, buttons, belts and brooches as well as anthropomorphic figures, bowls and vessels for perfumed oils...

"Until now no organization has claimed responsibility," the anti-terrorism department said in a statement. "But the action and the material used point directly to November 17." November 17 is the only Greek guerrilla group to have used antitank missiles. TIME's Anthee Carassavas reports that the leftist movement it supports...
...supporters in Austria and the U.S., can tap the same depths of irrationality that possessed Central Europe 60 years ago. Past and present reminders of that madness now reach us with context-blurring frequency. Contemporary television images of skinheads tattooed with swastikas and the firebombed houses of Germany's Turkish immigrants regularly cross paths with rerun footage of Brownshirts rampaging in the 1930s. Have the unholy dead returned to inhabit new bodies? Hasselbach's zombie-like voice, preserved to creepy effect by American co-author Tom Reiss, can almost make you think so.
