...dinner parties he took her to, where men boasted about golf scores and wives complained about their Indonesian servants. The couple fought rarely but had less and less in common. "She wasn't prepared for the loneliness," Obama wrote in Dreams. "It was constant, like a shortness of breath." (See pictures of how Obama prepares a speech...
...That’s when it gets tough, and that’s when momentum changes.”Seven different Lions batted in at least one run in the nightcap, with Cox and Jason Banos driving in two apiece. Harvard’s 10 hits were a breath of fresh air after a two-hit performance in the first game, but it took 12 innings for Harvard to show its first signs of life at the plate—it pushed across single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to get on the scoreboard.

...Coming in the wake of the resolution to last week's fighting in Basra, this latest move only confirms to many Sadr's breath of power and the limits of Maliki's. Three days into his poorly executed military campaign on Basra - initially commended by Washington as a decisive show of strength by the government - the Prime Minister extended by ten days a deadline for militants to lay down their arms.

...what they don't want to hear, while Clinton tells them exactly what they want to hear. (In many ways their conflicting messages mirror John McCain and Mitt Romney's blue-collar jobs debate in the run-up to the Michigan primary earlier this year.) Then, in the next breath, the hedging starts. Obama informs his audiences that some jobs can certainly be brought back, while Clinton cautions that, of course, not all jobs can be recreated. From that point on, their riffs run parallel. The two support cutting subsidies to companies that outsource jobs abroad and creating rewards...
