...Dagestan and Ingushetia, where terrorism attacks and assassinations continued. Then, last August, Umarov pledged to take the war to the Russian heartland, and in December he followed up on the threat, taking responsibility for a gruesome attack on a train from Moscow to St. Petersburg, which killed 27 well-to-do Russians, including three mid-level government officials. Yet the Kremlin still stuck to its normalization plan for the North Caucasus. For instance, Medvedev in January appointed a business-savvy outsider, Alexander Khloponin, to revitalize the region's economy rather than clamp down further on its insurgents...

Home Secretary Alan Johnson didn't release any details of the search...
...expectations of America's medical future are now the rule in my patient population. Not with all the patients; the very well-to-do still show little concern for the future availability of care or what it will cost. But this group generally means business anyway; they've looked me up and are usually ready for an operation when they first come. The lawyers and teachers, similarly, don't seem too worried about losing access to my services anytime soon.
