...Mass Mutiny" [Feb. 1]: Scott Brown's victory has pointed the way for Democrats to regain their lost momentum. After their shellacking in 2008, Republicans, rather than retreat from their principles, focused on solidifying their base. Democrats, disappointed by the tepid leadership and centrist policies of their party, were content to call it in and suffered a humiliating defeat. The clear lesson for the Democrats: work for the real change and progressive policies that will energize the base--or risk an election debacle in November...

But with Yar'Adua sick and a southern Christian back in power, Nigeria's sectarian divide - which frequently results in large scale Christian-Muslim pogroms - could worsen. "I have no confidence in his leadership," Dr. Baba Ahmed, secretary general of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria, told TIME.
