...Olympic-Sized Security Blanket" - misrepresented the mood in Beijing as the Games got under way [Aug. 18]. Though ordinary life for some residents has been disrupted, most of them are proud of the fact that the Olympic Games are finally being hosted here in their home city and hope that the event will be remembered as one of the most successful and safe in history. I can imagine foreigners reading this piece and fearing our capital as an intimidating hellhole. This is so far from the truth. Mao Yilei, Beijing...
...Still unknown is whether Scranton's turnaround will benefit Obama. Will residents identify with his campaign platform of hope and change?

You know, during the course of a 19-month campaign, you're on the television screen, you're in big auditoriums, but sometimes who you are may get lost. And I want people to come off saying: 'Whether I'm voting...
...question of immunity, saying "this issue, as you know, is also a sensitive issue that deals with sovereignty." But the Iraqi foreign minister made clear he at least thinks new rules will apply in the coming Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA, which U.S. and Iraqi negotiators hope to complete before the end of the year. "What we have accomplished in this agreement is the most advanced version of any SOFA or strategic agreement between the United States and any other country in the world."
