This Life (Mar 31 2004 12:58 GMT) - This LifeI was trying to explain this idea to a friend yesterday and getting nowhere with it. I went out for a walk in my town. I took a haphazard route, going through neighborhoods that were ... well I used the Monopoly board as an analogy ... walked through what I described as some Baltic Avenue and Mediterranean type streets, then took a turn towards town and back out on another boulevard that was pure Park Place and Boardwalk. |

- John Kerry began a new on-line fundraising ad campaign today. I saw it on the front page of the New York Times web site this morning, and it may be in other places. The ad shows Bush (complete with a King's crown and sable robe) sitting on a pile of gold coins and Kerry standing below. During the ad a pile of small contributions arrives and Kerry is raised up to Bush's level. Kerry punches Bush and knocks him off the pile of gold. |

- Около 400 томов дела, касающегося обстоятельств смерти первого президента Грузии Звиада Гамсахурдиа и обвинений в измене Родине, в которых фигурирует имя первого президента, собраны для изучения в генеральной прокуратуре Грузии. Как сообщил заместитель генерального прокурора Каха Коберидзе, возобновить следствие, касающееся данных дел, распорядился генеральный прокурор Грузии Ираклий Окруашвили. Прокуратура прекратила дело об убийстве президента Гамсхурдиа после того, как следствие сочло, что он покончил жизнь самоубийством. Второе дело, в котором Гамсахурдиа обвиняют в измене Родине, создании незаконных бандформирований и призывах к свержению конституционного строя, было прекращено в связи с кончиной президента. |
