...harmony compared with his second. In that kind of environment, anyone hoping to contend for leadership of the Democrats and the 2008 nomination will be under pressure to clash early and often with both Bush and the G.O.P.-controlled Congress. The result could be something very close to a four-year campaign for the presidency...
Boston's brass, which shelled out $130 million to bankroll this year's team (baseball's second-highest payroll total, after the Yankees' $190 million), pledges that it will continue to be aggressive. But general manager Theo Epstein prides himself on not overpaying for talent. Martinez, who made $17.5 million this year, is likely to seek at least a four-year contract worth some $15 million a year.

...Americans feel a sense of relief when they complete a four-year political cycle and elect a new President. But Asians, for their part, are focused on a 40-year goal of renewal and renaissance. They are relieved that Bush was re-elected. They do not have to face the trauma of educating a new President. But they expect more from a Bush than a Kerry. Without the pressure of re-election, Bush should pursue wiser long-term policies to regain the goodwill sadly lost in recent years...
