...Some of you were highly critical of our Person of the Year choice this year. A New Jerseyan charged TIME with "pandering to the majority of Americans who do not understand that being named Person of the Year was never meant to be an honor." "Sure," a man from New Delhi offered, "choosing Osama bin Laden would have provoked howls of outrage from an already indignant public, but your principles would have remained unquestioned." And as always happens, readers came up with their own ideas. A Massachusetts reader had an interesting suggestion: "A much better solution than your awkward attempt...
...vain. Had he heard too often the expert condescension, that Americans only support wars that are quick and easy to win? There is no way to prove who is right until America is more sorely tested: Do we provide every lost soldier an honor guard through every living room only because there are so few of them?

In our view of our committee’s data, a wage of $12 per hour is a minimal...
...finance-reform-wise, may well be that a political donation only gets you so far, and that the friends a campaign check makes you will be fair-weather ones indeed. When it's all over, we may find that this Administration, with a war to worry about and a honor-and-dignity-of-the-office mandate to maintain, did indeed act with particular rectitude in this case despite its Enron ties (or, again, perhaps because of them). Maybe we'll decide that Republicans, who hob-nob with rich business leaders all the time, are therefore better inured against their more...
