The slaying, staggering in its own right, exposed an international conspiracy that reached well into US territory.

Dozens of American envoys will leave office next week, but few of them are as prominent as Kennedy, the daughter of President John F. Kennedy.

So pull up a chair and join Michelle Kwan -- former Olympic skater now ambassador -- under the palm tree!
