...message of change, and she's about as far outside the Beltway as you can get. A child of the middle class with a friendly face and big hair, she is so affable that she once won Miss Congeniality in a beauty pageant. Her son is about to deploy to Iraq. She's an ice fisherman, a moose hunter, a small business owner and a lifetime NRA member. And she shelved her state's pork-laden Bridge to Nowhere that McCain has ridiculed on the trail...
...because people see through this desperate strategy. Since the Democratic primaries, Obama has clung to a belief in meaningful arguments and substance. He has refused, so far, to pander to the kind of agitprop that the Bush campaign ran in 2004 to defeat Kerry. McCain, though, seems determined to deploy the slime.

...brand of keyboard magic without the imposing presence of the man. Horowitz's Columbia recordings provide a distinctive but narrow view of his art. By the early 1960s, he had shorn himself of his reputation as a fire- breathing virtuoso, all flash and no substance. He began to deploy a wider, deeper repertory.

And it must be ''cost-effective at the margin.'' This means that once SDI is deployed, it must not be cheaper for the Soviets to add new offensive weapons than...
Many of these problems cannot be solved by the West, however many billions we spend or thousands of troops we deploy. Our money and expertise, which have helped make the central bank and the Afghan National Army professional and competent, cannot prevent the widespread corruption in the police and legal system. A central bank is relatively small, dealing with narrow issues such as currency and interest rates on which international economists can offer practical, technical advice. An army is able to develop its esprit de corps and drills in barracks, isolated from the broader society. But policemen and judges...
