...other political parties, human rights groups, and the government. They see the SVP's anti-foreigner rhetoric as demagoguery designed to stampede the electorate. "We are shocked at how foreigners are used to heat up the political climate, and how some parties are promoting such negative images," says Doris Angst, Secretary General of the Federal Commission against Racism. Adds Swiss President Micheline Calmy-Rey: "This racist campaign disgusts me because it stirs up hatred...

On top of a reenergized Democratic Party, Republicans suffer from a malaise surrounding their presidential candidates. But this angst over the Republican primary is not due to an actual lack of conservatism among the candidates. Rather, Republicans are looking for a perfect candidate, which sadly doesn’t exist.

A Pew Hispanic Center study released today shows Latino immigrants, legal and illegal, have made progress in the wage race: the proportion of foreign-born Latinos...
...last Monday, Michelangelo Antonioni, the Italian film director who diagnosed and dramatized postwar alienation, died Monday, the same day as the great Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. In less than 24 hours, the emperors of angst were gone. Bergman, 89, and Antonioni, 94, were two of the three surviving auteurs who defined serious European movies in the 60s - when serious movies pretty much were European. Of the decade's transcendent film figures, only that perpetual iconoclast Jean-luc Godard, 76, is left standing. If I were he, I'd insist on round-the-clock medical attention...
