...same point in a way that would be understood in any schoolyard: "We need a President who will lead the world, not bully it." Asked a question about outsourcing during his interview with TIME, Edwards talked about what it did to the soul of his hometown when the paper mill where his father worked closed down. When he finished, Kerry couldn't resist jumping in with a mini-seminar on trade policy that included references to the fine print of the antidumping and antisurge laws. But at least Kerry answered the question...
...beaten the odds and, at 51, will almost certainly take his place as a leading figure in the Democratic Party for years to come. His out-of-nowhere performance this year would not surprise those who have known him since he scraped his way out of Robbins, N.C., the mill town he talks about at every stop and in every speech.

The Neuenschwanders started offering tours via the scooter-like device this spring as a sideline to their computer-consulting business. Now they have a fleet of 21 Segways and are attracting 150 customers a week...
...cement his hold on power. According to this theory, he died when the original plot to kill only his bodyguard was hijacked by foreign agents. For six months, the trial of 13 alleged conspirators accused of killing the pro-reform Prime Minister has served mainly to stoke the rumor mill. The testimony last week of the infamous ex-paramilitary boss Milorad Lukovic - the man police say orchestrated the hit - seemed calculated to send the proceedings spinning out of control. Before his court appearance, Lukovic's attorney had promised his client would provide "irrefutable evidence" proving who was behind the killing...
