That Kerry was partly educated in European boarding schools does not prove he overintellectualizes. It suggests that he believes he is entitled to govern the country, never mind that he has neither the skills nor the values needed for that task. Duane E. Lamers Troy...
Klein was dead wrong in advising John Kerry's campaign to move to the middle and stay away from "the usual partisan claptrap."

It will be difficult and unpopular, but if Iraq is not ready to govern itself by June 30, with functioning, legitimate democratic institutions, a nascent civil society and an effective police...
...Party ad, they can prevent as much as half of a major city from ever hearing it. To make matters worse, the FCC under Chairman Michael Powell, who used to help corporations evade anti-trust laws for a living, has repeatedly attempted to relax the already weak regulations that govern media conglomerates. This would be disturbing even if Clear Channel weren’t so politically assertive...
