...democracy before it was allowed into NATO. Belonging to the alliance helped it become one. It's silly to insist that the Central Europeans must be functioning democrats before they can join up. NATO can help them on that road, as it also helped stem authoritarian backsliding in Portugal, Spain, Greece and Turkey...
...another record this year, until a spate of tourist murders -- three of them Germans on three separate occasions just this year -- revived worries about Miami's rate of violent crime, the highest in the U.S. Despite the bad press, European airlines like British Airways and Iberia Airlines of Spain have increased capacity to the city.

His daughter Anna, who carried on her father's work with dedication and skill, remained there until her death in 1982. Freud's library and study, the latter containing...
...France, which needed only a draw to qualify, was beaten, 2-1, in the final 10 seconds of play by upstart Bulgaria. England, playing with a dismal record, was also eliminated, despite its birthright to the game. And European champion Denmark failed to qualify when it was dumped by Spain...
