...Curse Re the cover story "Africa's Oil" [June 11]: Africa is still the least developed of continents. It has to be given a chance to rise without dictators who are groomed, financed and put in power by the West. From Gabon to Nigeria to Guinea, it is the same story: a hundred cronies surround a dictator who connives with oil companies to amass wealth while millions live in dire poverty.

...What a difference a decade makes. Bloomberg is now New York City's Mayor, and Tuesday he quit his second major party, bailing on the Republicans just as he bailed on the Democrats in 2000. It's not a huge shock; in an interview for TIME's current cover story on Bloomberg and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, he was equally dismissive of reds and blues. "I don't see any difference between the parties," he said. "They can't stop pork. They can't stand up to the NRA. They can't work together...
