...stuck to a few basic principles. We also offer Amy Sullivan's counterintuitive analysis of Hillary and women voters: that she didn't win all that many of them and that a battle is under way between optimist and pessimist feminists. Peter Beinart explains why Obama would be foolish to be baited into a trip to Iraq. Jackson Dykman creates a revelatory graphic map of Clinton's and Obama's results by county across the country. And we have terrific behind-the-scenes pictures from Callie Shell with Obama and Diana Walker with Clinton...
...Core—presumably to ease the lot of premeds, until now the most hapless victims of Core rigidity. There is no need to eliminate the many fine courses already established which approach these disciplines more imaginatively; some students may well prefer them.

Why has Obama's mother suddenly become important? I'm sure the voters who aren't swayed by emotion know the answer to that question...
...that is just the sort of flummery he has traditionally opposed. McCain's insistence on cutting pork-barrel projects from the federal budget is worthy but not very significant - the narcissism of small deductions. He would be better served by announcing his intention to kill some of the more foolish Pentagon weapons systems, as he has in the past...
