Hours after leading his Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) to a historic election victory, Ichiro Ozawa was nowhere to be seen. As the results rolled in the evening of July 29, tallying up the rising number of DPJ winners in Upper House races, Ozawa didn't appear at party headquarters, didn't speak to reporters, didn't even poke his head out to wave to his supporters. The official explanation was that the 65-year-old Ozawa - a former smoker who suffers from heart problems - was recovering from exhaustion after weeks of nonstop campaigning. It wasn't until nearly...
...Bloomberg and Schwarzenegger are successful because they serve constituents rather than political interests. They don't govern with a my-way-or-the-highway approach but are willing to reach across the aisle, admit mistakes and change directions. While they don't appear concerned with their legacies, both are creating them through their work. Rather than issue a test on what it means to be conservative, they deliver what the people and environment need. Both have the special qualities of great leaders: the ability to see around corners, understand the ramifications of policies and lead by example and inclusion. David...

...Bergman must have been surprised at the acclaim for works so personal, they seemed like primal screams, picking at the scabs of his psyche. "The demons are innumerable, appear at the most inconvenient times and create panic and terror," he said in a 2001 interview. "But I have learned that if I can master the negative forces and harness them to my chariot, then they can work to my advantage." Through his unforgiving artistry, the interior monologues of a tortured intellectual achieved an international impact. His films spoke not just to the self-absorption of the therapy generation...
...While a change in the Golan's political status doesn't appear to be on the current political horizon, there's always a chance that it could once again become a battlefield. Though Syria has repeatedly called for peace negotiations with Israel since the end of last year, it has also stepped up the rhetoric of resistance in the absence of peace. With outdated Soviet-era equipment, Syria's conventional army is no match Israel's top-of-the-line U.S. military technology. But the Syrians say they are changing their tactics and learning from the kind of asymmetrical guerrilla...
