...After years of battling the scandal machine that Hillary Clinton once called the "vast right-wing conspiracy," she and her inner circle feel well prepared for this sort of fight. Students of the Clintons' long career have noted that they do better in a scrape. Combat brings them to the balls of their feet; by contrast, they tend to spring leaks on calm seas. Clinton's successful attacks broke Obama's 12-win streak that had buoyed him through a month of victories, and her advisers now feel they have put a stick in the spokes of his momentum. "They...
...Revitalized by our freakish discovery, we climed back in the car and followed my dad’s inner compass down the hill where the road emptied into a village. We bounced slowly over the cobblestones of the street, beginning to get the feeling that cars weren’t big in town. Three older Italian men in suspenders, who were tanned the color of leather from the boiling Calabrian sun, sat playing chess under the awning of a caffé while sipping espresso and motioning with their hands.

They worry or grieve for Bubbles, Bodie or Wallace, certain that these characters are fictional yet knowing they are rooted in the reality of the other America...
...prohibited from harming other members of society, wasting taxpayer money to house drug offenders at the average annual rate of $23,876 per inmate siphons money from education, employment, and rehabilitation program budgets that target the causes of drug addiction and crime. This is especially true within crime-ridden inner cities. Inner-city dwellers and minorities are disproportionately victimized by the fundamentally flawed corrections system. The rate of incarceration for adult black males is one in 15—the rate for black men aged 20-34 is a staggering one in nine. Average prison sentences for crack cocaine...
