...Biden is tops in my book, and I tire of seeing glib swipes at him because journalists think the public enjoys reading them [Nov. 10]. Biden has given tremendous service to this country and to the world. His life has been eventful--sometimes unfathomably painful--and he always gets up. He is a treasure.

...Potter gets naked! That's the sell line for Broadway's revival of Peter Shaffer's 1973 drama, which runs through February. Happily, as the stable boy accused of mutilating horses, Daniel Radcliffe shows off not just his private parts but also his acting chops, and the play, though glib, is still a dazzler...
...fever pitch after Obama's European trip and the Berlin speech in which he called for global unity.

The debates drew millions of viewers and reaffirmed TV's reach. But can you remember any substantive questions from them as much as the back-and-forth about "likability...
...cultivation of coca, cocaine's raw material, is up again, the FARC is down - from close to 20,000 fighters in the 1990s to about half that today. A big reason is that the military in recent years has killed or arrested command figures like the bearded and glib Reyes, 59, who was one of the less mysterious FARC comandantes because of his role as media flack. His real name was Luis Edgar Devia Silva - and his satellite phone apparently gave away his location in remote southwestern Colombia, near or across the Ecuadoran border. Bogota has also begun extraditing FARC...
