But even more reassuring for G.O.P. leaders is knowing that they, as members of the party in power, have gerrymandered electoral districts; booby-trapped election processes in such states as Ohio and Florida; and widely mandated unreliable, unsecure and unverifiable voting equipment. Time should invite international judges and journalists to monitor the elections and report their findings in the magazine.

Even more intrusively, the software can trigger alarms when the teenager exceeds a certain speed. But automakers would find it too expensive and unpopular to routinely install long-term recorders, insists W.R. Haight, an EDR expert...

"This community, where their relatives and friends live, that's their world." The school and elders are trying to equip children with enterprise skills, he adds, so they can eventually earn a decent living at Yiyili-through art, horticulture, and tourism.
