Stability is one concern that unites all of Indonesia?s elites, and that may make Megawati Sukarnoputri the country?s next president. The opposition leader, who won the biggest share of the vote ?- 34 percent ?- in the June 7 election, on Thursday broke her silence and demanded the reins of power. Megawati had remained circumspect during the subsequent glacial vote count as backroom negotiations continued among the country?s power centers, including the military, the ruling Golkar party (which polled 22 percent) and a plethora of smaller parties. Thursday?s announcement follows indications that the military may have offered...
Talk about bouncing back. On Sunday ? three years after having been diagnosed with testicular cancer and subsequently undergoing four rounds of chemotherapy and two operations ? 27-year-old Texan Lance Armstrong rode triumphantly into Paris to become only the second American to win international cycling?s biggest race: the Tour de France.

It is my attachment to the New York attitude that made adjusting to life outside of it difficult, but I managed. I can now admit to the virtues of Boston (though I'm still working on smaller cities), say "have a nice day," and even speak more slowly.
