Kohl's heir ousted as CDU chief over donations scandal
Berlin reports that Wolfgang Schaeuble, hand-picked by Helmut Kohl, resigned as CDU chairman after conservatives forced a leadership break to stop party collapse amid revelations of illegal donations. In separate AP dispatches, a Bank of New York ex-executive and her husband pleaded guilty to laundering over 7 billion dollars for Russian interests, while a Russian actor prepares to film aboard the Mir space station for a project aiming to keep the aging facility operational. NASA notes Endeavour near enough fuel to finish a 3-D Earth mapping mission, with thruster and waste-urine strategies to save fuel.
