...reasons the charismatic, straight-talking military man was elected was the perception that he would be more resolute than the uncommunicative Megawati. Maintaining civil order is a high priority for the incoming administration. But during his five-year term, Yudhoyono's political fate may well depend less on guns than it does on butter?on how successful he is in improving Indonesia's battered economy. His mandate, after all, comes from citizens like Riza and the estimated 40 million other workers either unemployed or without as much work as they need. Megawati "wasted her political capital because of bad economic...
Does this mean the old media is dead? Not at all. Blogs depend on the journalistic resources of big media to do the bulk of reporting and analysis. What blogs do is provide the best scrutiny of big media imaginable--ratcheting up the standards of the professionals, adding new voices, new perspectives and new facts every minute.

It would also, I suspect, reflect Kerry's true feelings: that Bush has waged an incompetent war in Iraq, which he is in serious danger of losing...
Making the shortage last will depend on understanding its causes. An Australian National University-Australian Federal Police study to be released this week confirms that the success of police and Customs in stopping heroin at the borders was critical. Between 1992 and 1997, the a.f.p. intercepted 931 kg of heroin; over the next six years they seized 2,467 kg, including around 700 kg in 2000 alone. The historic shortage that followed, the report says, "provided the first opportunity in many decades to see whether supply and enforcement were in any way related." The link has been widely questioned...
