...Denis MacShane, Britain's Europe Minister from 2002-05. And Western governments have wanted Russia's cooperation on everything from combating terrorism to tackling such tricky international negotiations as the future of Iran's nuclear program. Earlier this month President George W. Bush welcomed Putin to the Bush family spread in Maine for a general air clearing at the "lobster summit...
...radiation to the chest, putting them at increased risk of developing breast cancer as young women. Screening them at age 25 instead of 40, as usually recommended, can pick up the disease sooner and, it is hoped, give doctors the chance to remove small lesions before they grow or spread.

Guggenheim Foundation, the New York-based art behemoth that has spread its museum tentacles to Bilbao, Berlin, Las Vegas and, perhaps next, Abu Dhabi. But what makes these five works stand out is not only the fascinating fingerprint of one of the 20th century's most influential collectors but the almost unbelievable logistics of bringing the works (conservatively valued at $15.3 million) by crane, boat, truck...
