...years ago. I knew this trip would put me over 10 million miles," he recalls. "But what brought a smile to my face wasn't so much what I drank and what I ate. I think it was when I landed and realized I've been able to enrich my life with business travel. It was more a happy thought than anything else." (See an iPhone app for frequent flyers...

...Obama campaigned for the presidency promising a game-changing diplomatic outreach, noting that President Bush's efforts had failed to prevent Iran from achieving a capacity to enrich uranium. But, under pressure at home and abroad from skeptics of engagement who insist that Iran is drawing perilously close to nuclear weapons capability, Obama gave his engagement effort only until the new year to change the game. With that deadline fast approaching, Iran's pushback against a deal that would require it to ship out most of its current enriched-uranium stockpile for conversion abroad into harmless reactor fuel has prompted...

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also stirred up concerns by declaring that Iran would move to enrich uranium to a far higher level of purity than it does now. Experts mostly dismissed the expansion plan as bluster, arguing that Iran lacks the industrial infrastructure to meet its ambitious targets. The country's lone existing facility, at Natanz, holds about 8,000 operating nuclear centrifuges; the proposal envisions...

...country's own nuclear interests, the Brazilian leader is unlikely to open nuclear ties with Tehran. "Lula is not crazy; he wouldn't sign any accords with Iran on nuclear issues, not even for peaceful means," said Camargo. "It's not viable politically. But we have plants that can enrich uranium for peaceful means and we think that Iran should have that same right." While that's a view shared by many in the corridors of power in the West, it remains at odds with the formal position of the U.S., Britain and France. That puts Lula somewhere between...
