...that end, this issue features David Von Drehle's smart opening piece about how John McCain or Barack Obama would probably govern and a four-page spread of where the candidates stand on the issues--ably edited by Massimo Calabresi, along with actual responses from Obama and McCain. Adding to the mix are Karen Tumulty's story on the Joe Biden campaign, Jim Poniewozik on how the media have covered the candidates, John Cloud on the secretive group that is reshaping gay politics, reports by Andrew Lee Butters and Aryn Baker on Iraq and Afghanistan, and reflections on Campaign...

His lab uses parts, including transmission systems and air foils, which have direct biological analogies that are “not accidental”.

That massive turnout prompted Florida's GOP governor, Charlie Crist, to flash his bipartisan bona fides this week and lengthen early voting on weekdays by four hours (while letting each county decide whether to lengthen the normal hours this weekend...

A new mileage-award policy takes effect Dec. 31: Short-haul flights, which once earned fliers a minimum of 500 mileage points, will now earn points equal only to the actual miles flown. Super-elite gold and platinum AAdvantage members, however, will still receive the 500-point minimum...
