...When I heard that the woman whose picture hung in my basement in the 1980s had become a backroom politico, I felt for the very first time that God had a reason for having me work at TIME magazine. Standing near the pastry table at 8:30 a.m., I looked up to see Thomas, 50, descending the stairwell like someone who could still sell a lot of posters. "O.K.! We're starting!" she screamed, followed by "Sorry, I yelled in your ear." A bit starstruck, I may have awkwardly responded, "I kind of liked it." To which she said, "Some...
...indicated a fairly tight race, usually tilting toward Obama by just a few points. Obama is still a relative newcomer in a wartime election, unknown to many Americans. He's still got his Rev.

In one typically pompous display, he unveiled to a room of sycophants a Styrofoam mock-up of a "New Sarajevo" that...
...October, Moreno-Ocampo felt that his case against al-Bashir was clear. But he faced a U.N. that seemed out of touch with what was going on in Darfur. Diplomats at the world body began calling violence in Darfur "intra-tribal clashes" - reminiscent of the "ancient tribal hatreds" definition that stalled intervention in Bosnia for so long. "I said the janjaweed and the army attacked in September and October, and this is not intra-tribal clashes," says Moreno-Ocampo. "Haroun obstructing humanitarian assistance in the camps is not intra-tribal clashes." Moreno-Ocampo challenged the Security Council, asking why they...
