...feel the heat. Some of it, to be fair, has been his own doing: In August, he caused outrage by sacking the well-respected Deputy Health Minister Nozizwe Madlala-Routledge. She had taken steps to restore some credibility to South Africa's HIV/AIDS program, which had suffered under her boss, Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, best known for her recommendation of garlic and beetroot as AIDS treatments. And Mbeki himself has expressed skepticism that HIV causes AIDS. But Madlala-Routledge's true crime, say close observers, was lack of loyalty to Tshabalala-Msimang, a key Mbeki ally. Tshabalala-Msimang hardly...
...endorsed Zuma, calls a "major constitutional crisis." On Sept. 23, Mbeki suspended the head of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Vusi Pikoli, who also oversees an elite investigative unit known as "the Scorpions."

Springsteen notes the greed and apathy subsuming America, but the ever tight E Street Band generates enough optimism and heat that you believe him when he sings, "We're livin' in the future and none of this has happened...
...merry crew. It’s foolish to summarize the “gist” of the show, because it’s risen so far above the initial premise of “All-American girl runs TV show; All-American hard-ass becomes her boss; both have to deal with All-American antics of All-American weirdo celebrity.” In just 21 episodes, Fey and Co. have created a fictional New York so rich with supporting characters and delightfully off-kilter logic that it could unseat the Simpsons’ Springfield as TV?...
