Chess is offering up a holiday banquet this week in both the men's and women's game. In Moscow, one of the strongest tournaments ever wraps Thursday as the annual Tal Memorial enters the homestretch. The 10-player round-robin features the world champion (Viswanathan Anand), his upcoming challenger (Boris Gelfand), his immediate predecessor (Vladimir Kramnik) and three young stars (Magnus Carlsen of Norway, American Hikaru Nakamura and Russian Sergey Karjakin) who many think will wear the crown someday.

WASHINGTON - If Viktor Bout starts talking to U.S. prosecutors, the man accused of supplying the weapons for civil wars on three continents could raise the roof in both Moscow and Washington. A tug-of-war between the two powers has played out largely in public over Bout, dubbed "the Merchant of Death" in 2000 by a minister in Britain's Foreign Office. On Friday, an appeals court in Bangkok ordered his extradition within three months to the U. S., where he faces criminal charges that could put him in prison for life.

The U.S. relationship with Russia is worsening by the day. The rhetoric on both sides is heating up, security agreements are in jeopardy, and Washington and Moscow increasingly look at each other through the Cold War prism.

China and India have long been seen as rising superpowers on the chess scene, but two strong performances by young Vietnamese stars last month suggest a new Asian tiger on the prowl. GM Le Quang Liem, 19, first came to international notice by winning the under-14 World Youth Championship in 2005 and followed that by capturing the strong Aeroflot Open and tying for first in the subsequent Moscow Open earlier this year. Both Russian events featured scores of the world's top grandmasters.

MOSCOW -- Russia and Ukraine reached agreement Wednesday on restoring natural gas supplies to Ukraine, ending -- for now, at least -- a dispute that ripped an even larger chasm between the two former Soviet republics, rattled European consumers of Russian gas and called into question Moscow's reputation as a reliable energy provider to the West. Almost a week after negotiations collapsed amid accusations of blackmail, sabotage and thievery, both Moscow and Kiev claimed victory in the complicated, five-year deal that involves a complex pricing plan, gas from Central Asia and a Russian-Swiss trading business that had been under investigation in Ukraine.

The die is now cast. In 2010, an Iranian nuclear bomb will detonate in an American city, fabricated with the help of the Syrians, the North Koreans and the A.Q.Khan network, with financing from criminal elements in both Moscow and Peking. The mullahs will threaten further attacks if the United States does not completely pull out of the Middle East, abandon Israel and turn Arabian oil resources over to a cartel controlled by Tehran, Beijing and Moscow. This will allow China to satisfy its energy needs, Moscow to play the role of king powerbroker, and Tehran to begin the final drive to destroy the Jews. Parts of the U.S. intelligence community are responsible for this disastrous state of affairs. Having missed completely: (1) the advancement of the Iraqi nuclear program in 1991; (2) the c...

Finding a new gallery director was key. Due to the well-known economic troubles of the university, the [Prichard] had been without a full-time director for more than two years. Last year, Roger Rowley was hired and his presence is shaping the new vision of the gallery. His background is important for understanding this vision. Rowley's graduate work was done at the innovative Visual Studies Workshop of SUNY Buffalo. Grounded in the experimental traditions of 1960s and '70s neo-avant-garde, the VSW is a unique interdisciplinary center, very much community-based, where tangible synergies between artistic training, theoretical work, exhibitions and community involvement are central to its mission. Rowley specialized in photography and artists' books. He worked at the workshop after his gra...
