...insights into the two Democratic campaigns. I'm curious about one thing though. How did a grassroots, bottom-up organization like Obama's maintain a consistent message, while a top-down, hierarchical organization such as Clinton's had so little consistency with their message? How do you turn your brand over ? to the public yet still be able to manage it so completely? Carrie Gartner, COLUMBIA...
...unabashed FARC sympathizer who had brokered the release of a handful of other hostages this year.

If Reagan conjured the past, Kennedy downplayed it, urging Americans to instead grab hold of the future. He liked to cite Goethe, who "tells us in his greatest poem that Faust lost the liberty of his soul when he said to the passing moment, 'Stay, thou art so fair.'" Americans risked a similar fate, Kennedy warned, "if we pause for the passing moment, if we rest on our achievements, if we resist the pace of progress ... Those...
