...dozens of these rising stars and have concluded that anyone who thinks Obama is unique is not paying attention. Consider Newark, N.J., mayor Cory Booker. His troubled city is into its third generation of African-American political leadership but not necessarily the good kind. Its previous two black mayors--Kenneth Gibson and Sharpe James--became ensnared in fraud and corruption prosecutions (Gibson was ultimately acquitted; James was not). Booker, 39, is something else entirely. A child of the New Jersey suburbs and a graduate of Stanford and Oxford, he faces an uphill battle in transforming Newark's troubled urban landscape...
...Bourne's shows speak to audiences all over the world, it's because he himself has such an acute comprehension of his medium. As a student in the early 1980s he was a near-obsessive balletomane, dissecting works by classical choreographers like Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan to work out how they established what he calls "that emotional mainline." But he also has an encyclopedic knowledge of film, and of how to apply its visual language in his own work.

Many men who don't consider themselves gay also, predictably, do not consider themselves to be participating in high-risk behavior.

Amendment 47 would let workers opt out of joining a union; Initiative 59 bans unions that have collective-bargaining agreements with the state government from donating campaign cash. Angry union leaders have vowed to kills these measures. Professor Kenneth Bickers, chair of the political science department at the University of Colorado at Boulder, predicts "a kind of 1930s style conflict between unions and management." Bad news for civility, but good news for Obama: In 2004, union members nationwide gave 61% of their vote to John Kerry. The more union voters...
...spent her spare time wisely, watching Anthony Dowell rehearse. She was picked for the company at 17, but chafed at being in the corps. ''I never felt part of the whole, I hated to be in line.'' Spoken like a ballerina. Ferri's big break came when Sir Kenneth MacMillan cast her in Mayerling, and she was soon performing a wide repertory. When Baryshnikov came calling, Ferri was ready, leaving the Royals with a mere ''You only live once.'' In her first year at A.B.T., she has worked with typical speed and intelligence, learning six major roles, three of them...
