It may be that the greater glory of the place is that we are able to be so divided over so many things yet still keep discovering ways to link ourselves and express those differences without flying apart. The telegraph. A love song. A protest march. The voting booth. And if all else fails, there's always the road...
Conservative editorial writers in Pakistani newspapers are already criticizing the government for handing over Kansi to the Americans without following typical extradition procedures; in the suspect's hometown of Quetta a steady stream of well-wishers have come to the Kansi family home to express anger over the matter.

Despite the temporary calm, cracks in the GOP were widening. While meeting with reporters, Majority Leader Dick Armey sidestepped many opportunities to express his support for the Speaker. Asked point-blank, "Do you think the Speaker is doing an effective job?" Armey walked away, saying, "You all have a good day." For his own part, Gingrich blamed reporters for his problems, accusing them of exaggerating a non-issue. "I was Speaker when...
