...Perhaps even more important than the issues, the op-eds hint at what Palin's campaign style will be like between now and November. Palin - a former co-captain of a state champion girls basketball team, a self-styled "hockey mom" and a distance runner - writes that she relishes the competition that is key in both the sports arena and the political one. "Competition defines and refines a person," she says. "It really is nothing to be afraid of." During her 2006 run for governor, she pledged transparency and praised "clean campaigns that stick to the issues - and stick...

It's when she discusses her travels and work overseas that she sounds 20 years younger, eager and unscripted?a hint that, as First Lady, she would use the spotlight to advance her cause. Until very recently, she could just head off and do her thing, have a life far away from Washington intrigue: no cameras, no questions, with missions to Nicaragua, Kuwait, Vietnam, Afghanistan.

But it had been filled." What does she plan to do now? With a hint of sarcasm, she says: "I'll do what every other college graduate with a lot of free time in China will do this summer: watch the Olympics...
With no substantive comment from either side after three weeks of negotiation, the progress of power-sharing talks between the leader of the Zimbabwean regime, Robert Mugabe, and his opposition rival, Morgan Tsvangirai, remain a mystery. But some hint of the atmosphere in which they are being conducted emerged Thursday when Zimbabwean security forces briefly detained Tsvangirai, his deputy - Movement for Democratic Change (M.D.C.) general secretary Tendai Biti - and a third M.D.C. official. The three were held at Harare airport and, after their passports were confiscated, prevented from leaving the country to attend a weekend summit of southern African leaders...
