...Maybe. But beyond the epiphanies of film form and camera work, Kane offers an acute view of American politics that applies today as much as it did then. Like Silvio Berlusconi and Michael Bloomberg, Kane (Welles) is a media magnate who runs for office. Like Mark Foley, he is caught in a sexual scandal just before the election. The brilliant script by Herman J. Mankiewicz and Welles is about a powerful man's need to be loved by the millions of people whose lives he dominates. And when they jilt him, he rationalizes the rejection by spinning tales of conspiracy...
...paper vote and discovered the veteran was actually well ahead. The problem, it turned out, was the way the candidates' names had been ordered and coded into the access cards that activated the machines, which were made by Omaha's ES & S.

The scandal helped Alckmin eat into Lula's lead and deny him the 50%-plus-one margin needed to claim outright victory in the first round of voting, which gave Alckmin 41.6% to Lula's 48.6%. But that may be as good...
...Highway of Death turned out to be the least of my worries as I arrived in Iraq for the first time last week. I had landed at Baghdad International Airport on Tuesday after an early flight from Amman, Jordan, over Iraq's barren western expanses as they caught the day's sunrise. After some visa haggling and a luggage wait upon landing, I was on the road into Baghdad, rolling along the same littered stretch where a friend of mine, aid worker Marla Ruzicka, lost her life to a suicide car bomber in April of 2005. It was a tense...
