...enormous influence on both policy and public opinion—are wont to lament or lambaste their government and culture in a manner unthinkable to the elites of other developed countries. In Japan, it took a decade of recession and stagnation for the nation’s leaders to accept a transition away from the “Japanese model” of corporatism and state subsidies. The mere suggestion of changes in the famously cozy French employment laws sparked massive protests by literally millions of students. And in Germany, even the election of reformist opposition leader Angela Merkel failed...
...while we accept criticism of our state and society, at the end of the day we still believe in the ideals on which they rest. 75 percent of American adults are unambiguously proud to be Americans, and 98 percent of American youth claim to be. And 81 percent of American youth expressed a desire to do something to serve their country, as opposed to 55 percent of French or 46 percent of British youth , according to sociologist Seymour Martin Lipset...

Accessing student e-mail should be a measure reserved for exceptional cases. While this legislation is a valuable step, it does...
...universe this time: if the Iowa results tell us anything, it is that Obama, far more than Edwards, has won the change mantle. And while Obama has already raised more than $100 million, Edwards has collected only a third as much. His relative shortage of funds forced him to accept public financing with its $50 million national spending limit in the primaries, a restriction that could severely limit his ability to compete with Obama and Clinton going forward. The problem is not just national; there are state-by-state spending limits for candidates taking federal matching funds. That means that...
