Perhaps that's why Putin had so little to say as the magnitude of the disaster unfolded. He left for his summer-vacation retreat in Sochi on the day of the accident and sent no messages of condolence to the fleet or to the furious families of the missing men. His officially published schedule told of phone conversations with foreign leaders but made no mention of briefings, consultations or expressions of concern about the Kursk. On Wednesday, dressed casually and looking tanned, he met with visiting academics to discuss at relaxed length problems of science, research and the brain drain...

Yet Dees points to alumni like Buford Furrow, who is awaiting trial on charges of shooting up a Jewish day-care center in Los Angeles and killing a Filipino postal worker last summer. Furrow, who pleaded not guilty, worked security for Butler in the 1990s. Another ex-security chief, Eldon Cutler, 59, was convicted in Boise in 1986 of conspiring to kill a federal witness in a case against the Order, a notorious terrorist cell of ex-Aryans who had gone...
