...Yekaterinburg deep in the Ural Mountains. But that's O.K. "A life on the go adds grist to our impression mill," says Oleg Presnyakov, 37, as he and his brother, Vladimir, 32, packed for a trip to Berlin to attend an opening of their 2003 play, Playing the Victim. It's a good thing the duo don't mind life on the road. Their increasing popularity as two of the world's hottest young playwrights has made itineraries like Moscow to Sydney via Tokyo, or Boston to Transylvania via London, routine as they attend their plays' premieres and workshops...

The upset has Democrats dreaming of a fresh start in Texas, a state that has provided an almost unrelenting chain of bad news for the party in recent years...
...enjoying the new experience of being courted by its neighbors. Chinese President Hu Jintao visited New Delhi last month bearing economic gifts, and Abe will almost certainly acquiesce to India's top priority: Japanese acceptance of the recent deal normalizing U.S. and India's nuclear relation. As the only victim of atomic weapons and a key supplier of nuclear technology, Japan's influential support would help India break into the exclusive Nuclear Suppliers Group, which ironically was formed in response to India's unsanctioned atomic test in 1974. It's the least Tokyo can do for a friend - especially since...
