...time around, the military has done its best to ensure its ruling clique will stay in power. The new constitution reserves top government positions for members of the military, and an esoteric set of rules seems specifically designed to keep Suu Kyi from participating in the electoral process. International monitor groups also have little doubt that vote-rigging will reach Afghan proportions. Nonetheless, the State Peace and Development Council, as the regime has designated itself, appears interesting in having the outside world approve of the elections - if only to confer legitimacy on its continuing rule...

Insiders predict films' box-office take in the early part of the week, monitor the returns on Saturday and then, when the numbers are announced on Sunday morning, say how surprised or disappointed they are. Forecasting the weekend grosses has become a rabid Internet pastime, and the spur to free publicity when news services cover the "story" in Sunday columns like this one. Stats freaks...
