Your Person of the Year stories completely missed the real power of the Internet [Dec. 25, 2006--Jan. 1, 2007]. You should have honored the altruistic Craig Newmark for his network of online urban communities, Craigslist.org Just ask any recent college grad who is looking for a job, an apartment, a date, an affordable car or a buyer for an old laptop. Craigslist isn't fluff but the real stuff of daily life...
Columnist Joe Klein's admiration for outgoing U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was misplaced and misguided [Dec. 25, 2006--Jan. 1, 2007]. Annan's 10 years at the U.N. saw the organization's effectiveness and reputation drop to new lows. The list of scandals, misappropriations and misdeeds was surpassed only by the opportunities missed. Ten years ago, I supported the U.N. mission. Now, owing largely to Annan's pathetic leadership, I no longer support the U.S.'s role in the U.N. The cost to U.S. taxpayers (remember, we pay 25% of the U.N.'s budget) is not worth...

Perhaps TIME has heard of it. It's called the World Series. This year it was won by the underdog St. Louis Cardinals. I find it hard to believe that the incessant ball hogging of the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant was anywhere near the achievements made in the postseason by the Redbirds in their first year in the new Busch Stadium. Not only that, but Tony LaRussa managed...
...state at all. (The U.S. State Department lists the country's government type as "none.") The Bush Administration has long suspected that Somalia's lawlessness has made it fertile ground for terrorists, which is one reason the U.S. has stationed 1,700 troops in nearby Djibouti since 2003. On Jan. 8, a U.S. AC-130 gunship struck a suspected al-Qaeda target in southern Somalia, where the U.S. believes a number of operatives, including three men accused of carrying out the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, have been hiding. On Wednesday, a Somali official said Fazul...
