...something that most residents of the capital, a hillside city full of crumbling 19th-century buildings and faded charm, had been struggling with for days. On Monday, long lines snaked out the doors of supermarkets as residents stocked up on food, and cars formed queues at gas pumps as motorists filled plastic jerricans. "Everyone is in a panic but trying not to show this. We are afraid if one person shows it, everyone will. We are trying to calm down," says Maia Gvaramia, 33, who stocked up on food yesterday for her two young children. "We don't know what...
...optimistic speeches about serving "a cause greater than our self-interest." The new McCain is tight and focused. The candidate who once invited all comers onto the back of his bus now hangs a curtain on his campaign plane to prevent reporters from even catching a glimpse.

But one of McCain's biggest hurdles in the race is the perception that his election would mean a third Bush term. Given that, is a pilgrimmage to Kennebunkport the best way to dispel the notion...
...year-old playing dress up in the political world, I have stumbled upon a microcosm of the real world, even if it will only last for just one more month. Rather than being enchanted by the charm of Washington, D.C. or swept away in the chaos of New York City, I am spending my summer lost in Minnesota, bumming rides from other interns and scrambling to orientate myself in a city that I had visited a dozen times, but was never old enough to pay attention to. To my delight, Minneapolis-Saint Paul actually has more to offer than...
