...seemed as if the campaign had never ended. There was John Kerry standing on a chair in a blue neighborhood of Atlanta, in the Democrat-friendly tavern Manuel's, speaking to 100 folks, many of them wearing Kerry-Edwards T shirts. The Massachusetts Senator insisted that he wasn't "one to lick wounds," but then he did: he noted that Bush had won with the smallest percentage margin ever for an incumbent and complained that the Republican team had six years to develop its electoral strategy while his had only eight months. And although he claimed that "my focus...

If the FCC is strengthened, Limbaugh has argued, what happens when a future Democratic Administration decides that conservative talk radio is violence-inciting "hate speech"? Meanwhile, earlier this month, Clinton took the stage with Santorum...
...Tang: A Journey in Transculturation," it's easy to lose one's bearings. In the exhibition, which opened at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum last week, stately stone Buddhas commingle with Greek gods and goddesses, an Iranian prince, and a bare-chested warrior with a rosy complexion and deep blue eyes. A dragon-edged jade disk vies for attention against vases of swirling Roman glass, Byzantine gold coins and a curious flock of tiny wooden geese that could almost pass for miniatures of the sculptures of Henry Moore. If not for the captions to remind us where the motley...
