...there are good reasons to think that this time it is, in fact, different. Gul, 56, is a moderate, and Turkey has always been a radically different place from its neighbors to the east. Today's ruling AK Party (AKP) is a democratic movement with roots in the Anatolian heartland, where economic success is valued as highly as piety. Its leaders, Gul among them, have renounced Islamism, or the belief that Islam has a role in guiding affairs of state. Gul himself holds a Ph.D. in economics and spearheaded Turkey's efforts to reform its economy and legal system...

Americans would buy less, the Chinese would buy more, thus reducing the huge trade imbalance between the countries-- $20 billion in May alone and $233 billion in all of 2006. This deficit is a big political issue in America's industrial heartland, where China gets the blame for a 19% drop in manufacturing employment since...

...calamitous cause and effect: hundreds of millions of tons of agricultural waste, mostly fertilizer, run off the fields and feedlots of the American heartland into the many tributaries of the Mississippi River. The nutrients end up in the Gulf of Mexico, where they trigger a massive algae bloom, which in turn depletes nearly all the oxygen in the water. The result is a massive die-off of marine life, notably shrimp and shellfish. This summer's dead zone is projected to be the biggest ever. [This article contains a map.

...CLOONEY: I've actually had that conversation with him, just saying "Look, I'll give you whatever support you need-including staying completely away from you." Actors have done a lot of damage to candidates lately. My father ran for Congress in 2004, and it was "Hollywood vs. the Heartland!" My father was Hollywood. PITT: I'm just hungry for some honesty and leadership. And I'm following them all-on all sides. DAMON: I'm an Obama guy too. I think a lot of the problems in the world would be mitigated if he were the face...
