...They fear that his message of change has grown stale, that his efforts to paint McCain as another George W. Bush aren't working, that Sarah Palin flat-out stole his mojo. They're even second-guessing his tactical decisions: Why did he send staff to the state of Georgia? Why isn't he using the Wall Street meltdown to bash McCain's support for privatizing Social Security? And why did he go to Beverly Hills for a swanky fund raiser with Barbra Streisand...
...Pointing Fingers Over Georgia Zbigniew Brzezinski's article [Aug. 25] was monstrously lopsided. He fails to mention that it was the Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili who ignited the war by attacking South Ossetia in the first place. Saakashvili miscalculated that the U.S. and the rest of Europe would support his action and come to his defense. His subsequent rhetoric was aggravating, which provoked the Russians and produced natural consequences. German Chancellor Angela Merkel played second fiddle to him. Her popularity is at a very low ebb in Germany. Saakashvili should follow President Musharraf and tender his resignation before things...
...Georgia is the logical consequence of the naive foreign policy of both the U.S. and the E.U. toward Russia. The next trouble spot: Greece? Croatia? Montenegro? And Serbia, of course. Kosovo cannot stand on its own feet. It has no significant mineral resources, no significant agriculture and no significant industry that could attract foreign investors.

Russia had to react! We thought...
...they fail to do so - as it is about the land itself. Through it all Franklin, who holds a Ph.D. in geography, demonstrates an artist's flair. He sees Greek-Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico, he says, in the winter light of his Spanish farming photos, and American artist Georgia O'Keeffe in the shapes that form in breaking glacial ice. Most of all, Franklin credits the Romantics and their idea "that these sublime landscapes are both beautiful but terribly precipitous." As the scene from Megalopoli reveals, change can be both stunning and haunting at the same time...
...Ohio the figure was a troubling 1 in 10. It's a tribute to America's racial progress that a biracial man born before Jim Crow died could come this close to the presidency, but if you believe that contemporary America is color-blind, you probably also believe the Georgia Congressman who recently called Obama "uppity," then claimed he had no idea it was a traditional Southern slur for blacks who didn't know their place. ("Uppity" often modified the slur everyone knows is a slur.) Blacks are still known as "minorities" because this is still a majority white country...
