...Reed intones: "In Berlin, by the Wall, you were five foot ten inches tall," a nearly audible sigh of relief seems to go through the audience. At least his voice has still the same distinctive, warm sound. While the singer shares his tales of depression, drug abuse and disoriented expats, the audience for the most part sits quietly in their seats.

...nowhere will Bush receive as warm a welcome as in Albania, where he is scheduled to land on Sunday morning. Bush will be the first sitting President to visit the remote Balkan country, the poorest in Europe, and Albanians have outdone themselves in preparations: tens of thousands have thronged to the run down capital, Tirana, to get a glimpse of the American first couple. The parliament recently passed a bill authorizing the U.S. to do anything necessary, "including the use of force," to secure the President. One headline declared: "Please Occupy...
