...both parties will have settled on their nominees fully eight months before Election Day, giving a depressingly early launch to what promises to be a brutal general-election campaign. At the same time, however, it could be harder for a front runner in either primary to deliver an early knockout punch to the rest of the field. "The odd effect could be to elongate the process, not shorten it," says former Republican chairman Ken Mehlman, who was George Bush's 2004 campaign manager.

In their exploration of color and line, they score a knockout punch, from the muscular motifs of Hawaii, which resonate powerfully with "echo" quilting, and the psychedelic patchwork technique of taorei, from the Cook Islands, to the elaborate appliqu?s of French Polynesia, which make Matisse's cut-outs look like child's play.

...launch of the PlayStation 3 was a show. It was all a delicately scripted process that Sony has been preparing for years. The knockout plan is working, and in the long term it might just deliver a victory. Look for Sony to grab the title belt as long as mindshare stays in its favor. And if you did snag a PS3 last week, please go home and shower...
