...expensive to run for Congress that incumbents, who have no other day job and better access to cash, enjoy a re-election rate of better than 90%. The only hope for turnover is for members to hate the job so much that they leave on their own, or for voters to be so hungry for change they'll risk backing the long shot. As it happens, both now seem to be occurring. With some 30 of their members bailing out, Republicans are running a crop of entrepreneurs and CEOS (it helps for amateurs to pay their own way), including...

Disdain for the cops is a common theme among the demonstrators at Jantar Mantar. "They hate us," laughs Rachna Dhingra, an activist with the International Campaign for Justice for Bhopal, which has been camping here since March to demand legal action against the corporations responsible for the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster. "We're making the police earn their keep." Day-to-day life at Jantar Mantar...
