...Prince William, a second lieutenant in the British Army, has been on a four-month, abbreviated training mission with the RAF. His training culminated in an April 11 ceremony in which he was "awarded his wings" - that is, officially made a pilot - amid fanfare and press attention. But after news surfaced of William's splashy arrival at his girlfriend's estate, the Ministry of Defense was forced to issue a release defending the sortie as a legitimate exercise.

...surely need to be careful about who we select as the next president. The country faces serious crises over domestic and foreign policy, and we should all closely examine the new crop of candidates. More than any other election in recent history, this is not one to rush. A four-month whirlwind of platitudes and one or two manufactured scandals is not a substitute for the careful scrutiny the media, the Internet, and the politically aware public will put the candidates through. Some journalists and commentators complain that the campaign is too “tiring?...
