SIMFEROPOL, Crimea — After Russia annexed Crimea practically overnight, the Russian bureaucrats handling passports and residence permits inhabited the building of their Ukrainian predecessors, where Roman Nikolayev now waits daily with a seemingly mundane question. His daughter and granddaughter were newly arrived from Ukraine when they suddenly found themselves in a different country, so he wonders if they can become legal residents. But he cannot get inside to ask because he is No. 4,475 on the waiting list for passports. At most, 200 people are admitted each day from the crowd churning around the tall, rusty iron gate. “They set...

Bush, in the tsunami relief effort partly for the international awareness to position him for the U.N. job. Clinton, who has been relatively low-profile since leaving the White House, is said to be ready for a new challenge now that he's finished with his autobiography.

Conversely, Americans wouldn't like the idea that the U.N. would be calling the shots in the Oval Office.</p>

The government seized the Mustang in 1999 after its owners were convicted of racketeering. Gilman bought it on eBay for $145,000 and moved the Mustang buildings to the Wild Horse site. The commission will decide at its next meeting whether to...
