...Lots of people haven't been able to get over what they lost in the tsunami," says Hidayat, a stocky 46-year-old with a square jaw and flat-top hairstyle. Yet, just over three years on, Hidayat has managed to pull his life together, remarrying and starting a small coffee stand near the capital's main port with seed money from an aid organization.

Yes, the Senator was comparing apples and freight trains: Wright's hate speech was as public and consequential as the grandmother's stereotypes were private, but Obama came to this comparison only after he had unequivocally condemned his pastor for having "a profoundly distorted view of this...
...region greets him with a driving deluge the minute his car crosses into it, provoking an accident with Antoine Bailleul, one of the postal workers he'll be managing. It takes a disoriented Abrams awhile to realize Bailleul's Ch'ti speech isn't the result of a broken jaw - and even longer to acclimate himself to some of the area's unusual customs (such as breakfasting on toast smeared with pungent Maroilles cheese dunked into chicory-cut coffee).
