...contrast is weak, but at least it doesn't make you feel as if your retinas were peeling off. If your eyes are weary and feeble from years of abuse, as mine are, you can even hit a button on the Sony Reader to make the text bigger...
...Romney has a bigger problem and a smaller problem than Kennedy," argues Richard N. Ostling, co-author of Mormon America: The Power and the Promise. "Bigger because the distance between the Mormon faith and conventional Judeo-Christian faith is wider. On the other hand, I think Americans are more tolerant than they once were."

...need a global manifesto, a new agenda for globalization that the advanced industrial nations can share with the poorer countries. The trade talks illustrate a bigger issue. You've got to put the case for globalization in the sense that with open markets and flexibility and free trade you give people the chance to benefit from a global economy, but you've also got to show - and this is where sometimes the debate has fallen down - that you will help people get the skills and education and infrastructure to benefit from globalization. Globalization can be a force for justice...
