...People like Rangel and Belafonte might do well to listen more closely to the next generation of black leaders-people like Obama and Congressmen Harold Ford of Tennessee, Artur Davis of Alabama and Sanford Bishop of Georgia-who emphasize both the need for more money to fight poverty and the need to change the behavior patterns of the poor. "Our priority has to be with whatever works, as opposed to the conventional wisdom within our group or our party," Obama said last week, adding that liberal and conservative solutions to poverty are not mutually exclusive.

...pianists both possess awesome technical mastery, but their approaches to the repertoire are quite different: Lang is a young Chinese Horowitz, pounding the keyboard with bravura intensity, whereas Li is a lucid interpreter with a poetic sensitivity, reminiscent of Artur Schnabel or Rudolf Serkin. After their respective debuts in America last year, the critics responded with the kind of ecstatic raves not seen in a long time. Richard Dyer, a critic at the Boston Globe, declared that Li "has the talent, the looks and the personal charisma to be a standard-bearer for a new generation." Following his recital...
