...relaxing in a trim blue business suit at his swanky party headquarters in downtown Ankara. Behind him is a wall-length map of Turkey, lit up with red flags of towns and villages he has visited in his first year as a barnstorming politician. He is in an expansive mood. "I believe in certain values in life," he says. "I want to set an example of public service." Politics, in fact, is a welcome pursuit for Uzan, who is leader of the Youth Party.

Bush headed for the repose of his Crawford, Texas, ranch; Blair to a tour of the Far East, where his upbeat mood was shattered by news that the British weapons expert at the center of a row over whether the government manipulated prewar intelligence had committed suicide.
