...Thailand A Troubling Alliance Burma's growing ties to North Korea were a hot topic at an ASEAN security forum in Phuket, where U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that such cooperation poses a "direct threat to Burma's neighbors." Some security experts worry that Pyongyang may be assisting the ruling junta with its ambition to acquire nuclear weapons...
...outside the state will see this election as a referendum on the President regardless of what Garden State voters actually think," says pollster Murray. "And perception is reality in this case. The President's people understand that." Which is why, despite the fact that Corzine was one of Hillary Clinton's strongest supporters in the primaries, Obama last week went to Holmdel, N.J., for a Corzine fundraiser, helping the governor raise $1 million, and later that night campaigned with Corzine before a crowd of 17,000. Obama also has tapped the 165,000 New Jersey supporters who signed...
...presidency, Clinton told me that the biggest mistake he made in trying to reform health care was pulling a pen out of his pocket during the 1994 State of the Union address and threatening to veto any health-care legislation that didn't achieve universal coverage.

Reagan, Bill Clinton and both Bushes regularly served California bottles at official functions. Sometimes the White House will purchase a beverage from a visiting dignitary's home country. Tsingtao beer has been served at every Chinese state leader's visit since 1979. (Watch TIME's video "Beer Pong Strikes Back...
...coming backlash. Obama's health-care-reform allies are currently outspending his opponents 2 to 1, says Evan Tracey of the nonpartisan Campaign Media Analysis Group. The actors who starred as a fictitious middle-class couple in the famously devastating "Harry and Louise" spots that helped kill the Clinton health plan in 1994 are now featured in ones that push for overhaul. But the other side is just warming up, so you can expect to see plenty of nightmarish scenarios in TV advertisements featuring legions of government bureaucrats standing between patients and doctors, and long waits for lifesaving treatments...
