Of course, every American President knows that his decisions have consequences for places far from the borders of the U.S., like the famous butterfly of chaos theory whose beating wings can cause a storm thousands of miles away. Obama and his advisers are doubtless sincere when they say that they want to restore America's reputation for decency and competence.

...last. Lessing says her energy has been sapped by ever-increasing burdens, such as taking care of her middle-aged diabetic son and dealing with the publicity she has faced since becoming the oldest recipient of the Nobel Prize for Literature last October. "When you're young you doubtless think that you're going to sail into a lovely lake of quietude and peace," she says. "This is profoundly untrue...
