...Hill-Clarence Thomas drama on television, in which people saw on their screens an African-American woman's charges against Thomas utterly dismissed.

The ties have remained testy. When army chief Ashfaq Kayani, the most powerful man in Pakistan, was in Washington a few months ago, General David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, remarked, "We're your only friends in Washington." Kayani reportedly replied...
