...authorities will no doubt make it virtually impossible for journalists to enter Tibet in the months leading up to the Olympics. But it remains unclear exactly how they intend to deal with the estimated 30,000 foreign reporters expected to witness the event, all of them eager to take advantage of Beijing's own regulations specifying that they can interview anyone Chinese who agrees to talk. "They still don't have any idea what is going to hit them or how bad they will look to the outside world," comments one senior Western academic who has close ties...
...Obama's speech was not unequivocal and certainly not healing for many Americans. As I talk to many of my friends and neighbors, I find people even more in doubt of his ability to lead us out of the national crises we are in.

It is because of something very important that my parents taught me when I was a child: your character or lack...
...Crusader Crashes All the psychoanalyzing about what drove Eliot Spitzer to risk his career by conducting illegal extramarital entanglements seems pointless [March 24].

What matters is the endgame - the approach shot and, most crucially, the chips and putts on its devilishly slick greens. This is not to say that Augusta doesn't provide a stern test of a golfer's resolve...
...Turkey's dispute has many more gray tones. The conservative Muslims appear as new democrats, though only when it suits them; some cast the social democrats in the role of new hard-line nationalists; and Ataturk, whose biggest aspiration was for Turkey to join the "civilized West," would no doubt be stunned to hear that his military is skeptical of entry into the European Union. Meanwhile, investors are spooked, leading Turkish unions are on strike over a proposed social security reform law, unemployment is over 10%, and the Kurdish conflict is brewing. "This is a struggle in the palace," says...
