Next month in Atlanta, a federal court will hear the high-profile appeal of former Alabama governor Don E. Siegelman, whose conviction on corruption charges in 2006 became one of the most publicly debated cases to emerge from eight years of controversy at the Bush Justice Department. Now new documents highlight alleged misconduct by the Bush-appointed U.S. Attorney and other prosecutors in the case, including what appears to be extensive and unusual contact between the prosecution and the jury...

It was no accident that on election night, Obama captured...
...Such grousing contrasts with the cheers Sarkozy drew during the darkest hours of the crisis with his clarion calls for a "refoundation of modern capitalism." Also waning is the general enthusiasm unleashed by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's appeal to establish a "new Bretton Woods [by] building a new international financial architecture" - a revision of the original 1944 accords that envisioned turning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) into a global regulator of markets unified under common rules...
