...Nation's Dreams In contrast to the wonderful design on the March 5 cover - which was an artistic masterpiece - the story on Ghana's 50 years of independence was disappointing. You underplayed the role that foreign powers have played in tampering with the development of the young and promising country, and you didn't emphasize enough Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah's vibrant efforts to raise Ghana and all of sub-Saharan Africa to the same level as the so-called developed countries.

Yet even as we modernize the design, we are also harking back to our roots...
...there a bright side? The Iraqi government is weak by design. The portfolios of the government were handed out like so many pieces of cake. Yet, beyond all expectations, the parliament, however ineffectual, has actually maintained a coalition government in place. And while the government's structure makes it impossible for one person or party to ride roughshod over everyone else, that means decisions are made by a painfully slow process of consensus - which may give them a better chance of sticking.
