There's nothing like a multistate summertime blackout to get environmentalists and industry groups throwing spitballs at one another. Extreme greens wag told-you-so fingers and dream anew about a grid-free country, with homeowners generating their own power courtesy of clean, renewable energy sources. Industry types speak instead about building new nuclear or conventional power plants or muscling up existing ones--and delivering all the juice through a modernized distribution system...
...Tuesday's outrage in Jerusalem, however, made that position untenable - Washington began pressing anew for Abbas to confront Hamas and Islamic Jihad. That simply underscored the prime minister's political weakness. His function in the current process has essentially been that of an emissary between the Israelis and Americans on the one hand, and those Palestinians with whom they refuse to talk directly - Hamas, JI, the various Fatah militias and terrorist groups and Palestinian president Yasser Arafat.

"Every generation should look anew at Franklin," says Walter Isaacson, my predecessor as managing editor of TIME and the author of a splendid new biography, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life. "He speaks to us in a contemporary way, and we can learn a lot about our own values by the way we see them reflected in Franklin." In an adaptation from his book, Walter explores Franklin's seven revolutionary ideals in a way that offers remarkable resonance with today's headlines...
