...three vacancies leave the race wide open. The good-government Cambridge Civic Association (CCA)--which has commanded a four-member minority on the council since the early 1970s--and other liberal groups could make up a progressive majority on the council come next November. But given the edge PR seems to give incumbents, the CCA is facing an uphill battle...
...lucky thing is that a goalkeeper can play a lot longer. I think now I'm finally playing like a really good goaltender--not just jumping, catching balls, the athletic part of it, but playing smart. I don't make the same mistakes, I don't get rattled...

That notion adds insult to the injuries of the masses starving in Africa and Asia, the basement dwellers of Beirut and the victims of narco-terror in Latin America. While the prospects for capitalism and democracy may look pretty good from Japan, Italy, Holland and France, where translations of Fukuyama's article will soon appear, they are less bright in places like Peru and Bangladesh -- and even Mexico and Israel...
