Caught Between Color Lines In "The Identity Card," Shelby Steele offered an insightful, thought-provoking examination of race in politics [Dec. 10]. I have a couple of questions, though. What exactly are black values vs. white values? What white shame does he believe binds my actions?

That's why Samak is playing the Thaksin card. The two men are strange bedfellows - they were once political rivals - but now each needs the other...
They've touted you as one of the nation's most influential men under 45. They say that you are the GOP's most effective calling card. Can you see yourself being the future face of the GOP? You are young, ambitious, conservative, and not as pale-skinned as the rest of the party is. Look, I think that my election was about Louisiana.
