Lynch brings this canny naivete, this promiscuous curiosity, to every aspect of his life and work. It could be a trait bred from childhood -- a sylvan youth of eagle-scout badges and family camping trips, spent amid the Pacific Northwest trees that today loom over Twin Peaks. "My father was a scientist for the Forest Service," Lynch says. "He would drive me through the woods in his green Forest Service truck, over dirt roads, through the most beautiful forests where the trees are very tall and shafts of sunlight come down and in the mountain streams the rainbow trout leap...
...educator, he has been closely associated with the charismatic renewal movement, which practices speaking in tongues and other gifts of the Holy Spirit; he has been a bishop for just 2 1/2 years; and he is a product of the working class, whereas Archbishops are traditionally upper- crust men bred in elite boarding schools and polished at Cambridge or Oxford.

But Mandela's magnetism is palpable, the consequence of his endurance and determination in the fight against South Africa's white-minority government. He fires the pride of African Americans and touches a deep desire in the psyche of Americans both black and white for a leader who might rekindle the biracial coalition...
...that freedom for the rest can be expected immediately. The fate of each prisoner is subject to tortuous maneuvering among Iran, Syria and one of the terrorist groups that hold the hostages. Their interlocking self-interests bred a culture of kidnaping in the 1980s; now the question is whether they can each serve themselves best by giving up their captives. Clearly none is in a position to deliver all the hostages independently...
