...chief executive John Browne to visit Moscow last month, where he met with Putin. The Russian leader reassured Browne, "We were not mistaken when we supported your decision two years ago" and praised the company for being "a good corporate citizen." Meanwhile, the Japanese tobacco company JTI, which makes Winston and Camel brands at a $400 million state-of-the-art factory it built in St. Petersburg, is embroiled in a court battle with authorities over a tax demand from 2000 for more than $80 million that has prompted complaints from the Japanese government...

The writer-director shows his understanding of the Murray persona by casting him as Don Johnston, a man who searches for the mother of his son less out of a passion for knowledge than because he lacks the resolve to say no to his neighbor Winston (Jeffrey Wright), who had eagerly proposed the trip.

Support is solid even among Republicans, says G.O.P. pollster David Winston, who conducted a poll released last week by New Models, a Republican communication research organization. Surveying 13 Republican congressional districts across the country, Winston found that voters in those areas favored embryonic-stem-cell research an overall 66% to 27%, while Republicans supported it 53% to 37%. This week backers...
...capital, Riga, on Saturday, Bush expressed regret for America’s complicity in the 1945 Yalta pact that divided Europe into spheres of influence between the Western allies and the Soviet Union. The president even went so far as to compare the deal, struck by Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin, to the appeasement of Adolf Hitler by western governments before the World War II, and to the 1939 Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact...
