...passion Obama inspired earlier this year was critical to his victory in the primaries. But it isn't what he needs now. The public is not looking for a political messiah. Indeed, the over-the-top adulation of Obama's most fervent admirers probably strikes some swing voters as creepy and cultish. What people want is a steady leader who looks out for their interests: safety, secure health care, higher wages, cheaper food...
...took years of activism and advocacy - particularly fervent over the last few years - to make Delhi's Queer Pride possible. In 2004, Voices Against 377, an umbrella group of 12 NGOs working on a range of issues from women's rights to HIV/AIDS, was formed to file a case in the Delhi High Court against Section 377. (The case will have its final hearing on July 2 this year.) In 2006, celebrated author Vikram Seth wrote an open letter against Section 377, which was signed by the likes of Nobel-laureate Amartya Sen. "We just felt the time was right...

...Bush, who started a week-long five-nation visit to Europe on June 9, such generosity will not be easily granted. Bush could discover an unexpected love for cricket, announce that he and Laura were planning to vacation on the Côte d'Azur, declare that his most fervent wish was to march in Berlin's Love Parade, and it would do him no good. For many Europeans, no matter how hard he tries, Bush will always be considered an ignorant, incurious cowboy. He was and is, they think, a man who connived in the use of torture...
...fervent advocates, recycling has come nowhere close to allaying the world's burgeoning production of garbage. Now Britain's Isle of Wight is presenting what proponents hope will be a parade example of how to deal with the megatons of waste that can't be reclaimed. This summer, a $16 million, 2.3MW gasification plant - the first in Britain and one of only a few in the world - will fire into action, turning 30,000 tons of rubbish a year into electricity for 2,000 homes...
