...establishment - the last business group you'd have turned to for radical thinking, or owning anything abroad. The group's founder, J.N. Tata, was a nationalist driven by the idea of a strong, self-reliant India. He gave the country its first steel plant, first hydroelectric plant, first textile mill, first shipping line, first cement factory, first science university, even its first world-class hotel. His successors - among them J.R.D. Tata, India's first pilot - created the first airline, first motor company, first bank and first chemical plant. But after independence in 1947, the group came to symbolize all that...
...that he spent a lifetime hiding it. True, in recent years the Congressman was seen in the company of a male dermatologist in his district. Even so, in 2003 Foley revealed the deep shame he felt about his homosexuality when he called the rumor mill about his gay life "revolting."

Sestak explains that the military provides universal health-care coverage and substantial educational benefits-"I was able to get a Ph.D. from Harvard," he says-and it has also been a pioneer in providing equal opportunity for all, including women and minorities.

...vision of the Democratic Party. The vote against Lieberman was neither extreme nor an assault on bipartisanship. It was a vote against Bush's extreme policies - which Lieberman supported. Voting against extreme policies does not make one an extremist, no matter how the g.o.p. spins it. Kevin Fink Fort Mill, South Carolina, U.S. Bravo to Klein for noting that "the real alternative to Bush's Republican extremism isn't Democratic extremism. It is bipartisan moderation." Now all you need to do is suggest a few potential Democratic contenders who embody that ideal. Kerry? Gore? Hillary? Howard Dean?! Having gored...
