This year the candidates remain as cautious as ever--both campaigns rejected invitations to attend a Google-YouTube forum in New Orleans--and perhaps rightly so. An estimated 65 million Americans will watch Barack Obama and John McCain duel for the first time on Sept. 26, many of whom will be documenting, dissecting and live-blogging their every move. Debates have been called the political version of the Indianapolis Speedway; most viewers tune in to watch the candidates crash and burn. Or, at the very least, break a sweat...

...people "to a golden standard for progress," says Jamie Drummond, executive director of the antipoverty organization DATA. When world leaders gather in New York City this month to take stock of the MDGS, their speeches are likely to tout the many achievements since 2000: millions more African children now attend school and sleep under mosquito nets; thousands of new water wells have been dug. Yet though maternal health care underpins many other development goals (healthy mothers are more likely to ensure that their children are well fed and educated), the total number of women dying in childbirth has remained virtually...

Still, I can’t help but feel the dull pain of disappointment, as if catching the show this year, its sixth, was too late and the festival is now past its prime.I first heard of Bonnaroo in high school when one of my friends attended.

DiTrani, who has children who attend Cambridge public schools, said she felt that Fowler-Finn’s emphasis on scores overlooked ongoing problems, such as the under-usage of neighboring universities’ resources and the ongoing achievement gap among low-income and minority students. In 2007, there was a 30 percent difference in scores between black and white students in English, and a 37 percent difference in Math...

...Tory leader's own world is now crammed with new friends eager to get close to the coming man. The Conservative Party conference at the end of this month has been overwhelmed with applications to attend. For much of the past decade, these annual conventions have been downbeat affairs, sparsely attended convocations of fleshy men in gold-buttoned blazers. "Success breeds success. When we were in the doldrums, nobody but the diehards would break bread with the Tories," says Cameron's close colleague...
