...positive idea is already contained in every complaint and objection raised by Democrats today. Dems can look beneath their outrage at the tax cut to find the sense of justice and mutual responsibility that it offends, and see their anger about the deficit in terms of the kind of future that it sacrifices. How about a catalog of things that we could do if the government only had the resources? We can point out afterwards why, with this crew in power, we can’t afford them. Instead of railing against the way the war has been handled, they...
DIED. ALAN BATES, 69, bluff, beguiling English actor; of pancreatic cancer; in London. A modest giant bestriding nearly a half-century of excellence, the Derbyshire lad co-starred at 22 in the original London stage production of Look Back in Anger. But the Angry Young Man tag never quite fit Bates' protean gifts. As a charming killer in Nothing But the Best or a Jewish prisoner in The Fixer, wrestling nude in Women in Love or incarnating the lonely spy Guy Burgess in An Englishman Abroad, he brought strength, delicacy, wit and humanity to each role. In films he often...
This is Le Carre in career form: his anger burns cold and clear. Rage has given back his pacing its sharp, irresistible snap, his wry social observation its bite and his signature backstage knife-play its deadly edge.

But if the Democrats do mount a successful populist campaign against Bush, it will have to be sunny and sophisticated, with the anger carefully rationed. In other words, it will contain, as Kerry's stump speech now does, equal quantities of those eternal military-marching properties--polish and spit. If the nominee is Howard Dean, he'll have to work on the polish...
...Watching the jade waters of the Jhelum flowing into Pakistan below, Uroosa villager Khan says his anger wore out long ago. What remains is a debilitating sense of a life gone by, unused and unexplored, as if, he imagines, he had spent all his years in jail. "All my life," he says, "I've thought to myself 'Why did this happen to me; why was I born to see this tragedy?'" Khan now wonders if he will be able to adapt to a wider world should peace come. Will he get along with a family he won't recognize? Will...
