...delegate brushed all that away: "Voters will see the Tories are stealing our ideas and don't have our substance." But that's exactly what Conservatives used to say about Blair as he crushed them in three elections. At this week's Tory conference, Cameron is pushing his substance-lite, eye-catching ways of recasting the party's brand, which have included visits to glaciers, more distance from George W. Bush and a new logo based on a tree. But back at Labour, fighting between Brownites and Blairites continues unabated. Bill Clinton - who botched his own handoff to Al Gore...

...jail in 1992 for attempting to overthrow the government, the joke on the streets was that he deserved 30 years: one for the coup and 29 for failing. The incident won him admiration among ordinary Venezuelans, who backed Chávez for taking a stand against their criminally corrupt élite, who for decades had pillaged the oil wealth and left half the population in poverty. That popular support got him and his comrades released, and Chávez set out to take power at the ballot box instead. In 1998 he won a landslide presidential victory (and another in a special...
