Until 1991 maps had only two "Stans"Afghanistan and Pakistan. Today there are five more. The sudden breakup of the Soviet Union gave independence to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. In the 1980s Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's new program of glasnost Demonstrators took to the streets and communism fell in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Romania. In East Berlin the toppling of the Berlin Wall underscored the dramatic changes. Before the East German government crumbled in November 1989, 81 people had died trying to scale the wall to escape their repressive society. As communism fell everywhere in Europe, Gorbachev resigned in 1991, and formerly Soviet republics began to declare their independence. Kazakhstan: The largest of the Stans, Kazakhstan is also likely to be the wealthiest. The country has immense

Extractions: Mourning the death of Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal MICHAEL DIBARI JR./AP Former Georgia Sen. Sam Nunn, left, accompanied by Sen. Richard Lugar When the Cold War ended, two Senators pieced together a plan to divest the former USSR of its nuclear and chemical weapons. Is it time to reprise Nunn-Lugar? By JESSICA REAVES Largely ignored in recent years and stripped of critical funding as recently as July, the Nunn-Lugar Act, or "Cooperative Threat Reduction Program" has garnered public attention since the September 11th attacks. Once regarded as peripheral, the Nunn-Lugar now looks not only prescient but absolutely essential. Co-sponsored by Sam Nunn, former Democratic Senator from Georgia, and Indiana Republican Richard Lugar, the Act was first approved in 1991 in response to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Designed to limit the threat of suddenly itinerant weaponry, Nunn-Lugar established a fund to pay for the identification, destruction and disposal of nuclear and chemical weapons. The initiative also actively welcomed former Soviet scientists into the American community, hoping to lure prospective bomb-makers and chemical-mixers away from rogue nations. Nunn and Lugar also co-sponsored the 1996 Nunn-Lugar-Domenici Domestic Preparedness Initiative, which builds on the goals of the original Nunn-Lugar Act and also trains civilians to assist disaster workers after an attack by a weapon of mass destruction, including any biological agents. According to press secretary Andy Fisher, Senator Lugar expects the program to be rolled into the larger homeland defense effort headed by former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge. Once again, Nunn and Lugar were ahead of the curve.
