There is no mistaking the rage in America, across the board, at the release of the Lockerbie bomber Megrahi, and at the apparent duplicity of Gordon Brown and his kinsmen north of the border. Americans dislike more than anything else duplicity among friends (though it is not always absent in Washington). We should remember Suez, 1956. For the last time when the mood within the "special relationship" was as frigid, one has to look back to 1973. It was the year of

 TAWANG, India — This is perhaps the most militarized Buddhist enclave in the world. Uneasy Engagement Enclave of Hostility
Perched above 10,000 feet in the icy reaches of the eastern Himalayas, the town of Tawang is not only home to one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most sacred monasteries, but is also the site of a huge Indian military buildup. Convoys of army trucks haul howitzers along rutted mountain roads. Soldiers drill in muddy fields. Military bases appear every half-mile in the countryside, with watchtowers rising behind concertina wire.
A road sign on the northern edge of town helps explain the reason for all the fear and the fury: the border with China is just 23 miles away; Lhasa, the Tibetan capital, 316 miles; and Beijing, 2,676 miles.

 Ted Kennedy went to his grave a haunted man for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne in the 1969 Chappaquiddick car crash that many believe shattered Kennedy's presidential dreams."That night on Chappaquiddick Island ended in a horrible tragedy that haunts me every day of my life," Kennedy wrote in "True Compass," his much anticipated memoir, published by Twelve.It was an accident, Kennedy said in his 511-page tome due out Sept. 14, a copy of which was obtained by The News. But he confessed he was "responsible."It's one of several unvarnished passages that sheds new light on the storied life of the late senator, who died last week of brain cancer. Other revelations include:Kennedy insists he was never an alcoholic. But he enjoyed his fair share of stiff drinks, women and fine wine, and "at times I've enjoyed these pleasures too much."As a 9-year-old, Kennedy hid under

 According to Swiss minister Christa Markwalder, when Khadafy comes to New York Sept. 23, he will ask the UN to dismantle Switzerland and parcel out the land to neighboring France, Germany andItaly.The UN charter specifically states that no member can threaten the sovereignty of another, so the demand is unlikely to get far. But it's another sign of tension to come during the eccentric dictator's visit.The Libya-Swiss kerfuffle began a year ago, when Khadafy's trouble-making youngest son, Hannibal, was arrested in aGeneva hotel for beating two servants with a belt and a coat-hanger.He had previously had run-ins with cops in France and Italy and once was busted for driving drunk on Paris' Champs-Elysees at 90 mph - the wrong way.Libya retaliated with fury, recalling some diplomats, withdrawing $5 billion from Swiss banks, shuttering the&n

 Widows and survivors of 9/11 are demanding President Obamastand with sick responders - and champion a stalled congressional measure to help them.Named after NYPD Detective James Zadroga, who died from inhaling toxins, the bill would pay for the treatment of Ground Zero responders and workers sickened by their post-Sept. 11 service.But it's been stuck in Congress over fears about its cost.After eight years, the people who responded to the worst terror attacks on American soil are getting tired of waiting while more of them die, and have written Obama demanding he act."Their deaths have left a void in our families and have left us wondering why our country, and you, Mr. President, have not done more to help the heroes of 9/11," the letter says.The President, it notes, backed the legislation as a senator running for theWhite House."Since that time, we have heard nothing from you
