...dissemination of transforming technologies and tools such as the Internet, and open trading systems. All of these are the attributes that combine to form that much discussed phenomenon: globalization. But in this special report, we look at one overlooked aspect of a generation's worth of global growth: the extent to which New York City, London, and Hong Kong, three cities linked by a shared economic culture, have come to be both examples and explanations of globalization. Connected by long-haul jets and fiber-optic cable, and spaced neatly around the globe, the three cities have (by accident - nobody planned...
...never fails to mention that Petraeus should have been Time's Person of the Year?is the climax of every speech. This too is admirable, but also a bit half-baked. McCain's vision of the war is simple, binary: We are fighting al-Qaeda and, to a lesser extent, the Iranians. We are "succeeding," he says. "Al-Qaeda is on the run, but it is not defeated."

Edwards is a much stronger and more credible candidate than Brown, who ran as a quirky outsider, but there are a lot of similarities in their messages: Brown ran on a platform of campaign finance reform, pledging to end the "Stop-and Shop...
...that you stood your ground. Yeah, you know, Karen, look, you have followed me a long time and I have known you over the years, and I am sure you understand I sometimes think that the media doesn't really follow what people are thinking and doing to the extent what I would like... on two levels. Number one: politics for me is a means to an end. It is not an end in itself. And obviously, if you are on the campaign trail and you are covering the candidates 24-7, it kind of becomes an end in itself...
