...cheers by bashing the rich. Brown's keynote speech talked of a new era that demands heavier regulation, an era in which the rich will "be able to look after themselves." That sort of talk sets off alarm bells. "There is a risk that a mood could emerge, an anti-City mood," says Douglas McWilliams, chief executive of London's Centre for Economics and Business Research. "You sense that now with the Labour Party in a rather weak state, there could be a bit of populism that could actually do some damage...
...locals to sleuth out information. But he and Hoffman have a bigger, wilder plan. The notion is to plant incriminating data on a plausible corpse and create a fictional CIA spy who the terrorists will believe has penetrated their ring. (British intelligence hatched this idea in 1943 for an anti-Germany caper that was memorialized in the book and movie The Man Who Never Was.) It's up to Ferris to use the charade to draw out an insurgent leader who is as elusive as he is deadly...
...loaded with so many pork barrel projects.) Upstate New York and the rest of the Rust Belt has been hit particularly hard by the economic downturn, with the region still reeling from the loss of manufacturing jobs over the past several decades.

The candidates are set to debate a few times before Election Day, and the negativity will surely be on display. Kryzan is used to the harsh tone from the primary season, but this time she faces...
...promise of the Mandela years, and former apartheid President F.W. de Klerk, who also served as a deputy president under Mandela, charged it with repeatedly flouting the national constitution. Clearly, the unimpeachable political and moral authority enjoyed by the ANC under Mandela, thanks to its leadership of the anti-apartheid struggle, has been been squandered. The generation of South Africans who'll be eligible to vote for the first time next year have grown up in a post-apartheid democratic environment. The split in the ANC may be a sign of a maturing politics, in which a party's claim...
