Germany's most-wanted fugitive was last seen in a video that appeared on an Islamic Internet site in October. Eric Breininger wore a black and white turban and fired off a quick round of staccato shots with his Kalashnikov rifle, probably somewhere in the hills of Afghanistan or northern Pakistan. At one stage he espoused the cause of jihad against the United States and allies such as Germany...
...part because of the anti-government protests that convulsed Bangkok and scared away tourists and foreign investors since August - the prospect of a Prime Minister who will not cause hundreds of thousands of yellow-shirted protesters to flood the streets must be a relief. True, Thaksin's supporters, who wore red clothes during their rallies to contrast with the opposition's yellow shirts, are hardly pleased.

"Here we are in the year that we elected the first African-American President, and I get to share the stage with four white guys," joked the moderator, Gwen Ifill, a correspondent for PBS who was still...
...corrupt politics. Indeed, the previous governor, George Ryan, had been fighting that reputation and in 2003 was charged with and later convicted of corruption. Blagojevich had a striking public image to go with his reformist politics. Short and fit, with a shock of dark brown feathered hair, he wore sharply cut suits that some of his admirers said looked pulled out of GQ. He also had his father-in-law's help with strategy, and he became the first Democrat elected governor of Illinois since the 1970s. He also had a bit of luck. His Republican opponent's last name...
