Beinart may be right in hailing a new dawn for American liberal politics, but before he celebrates, beware that this is not just another false dawn like so many before. Weren't we almost as enthused in 1960 when Kennedy beat Nixon? Look what happened within a decade: the moon landing, but also Vietnam and Nixon. Here in the U.K., New Labor's arrival in 1997 was greeted with much the same enthusiasm as Obama's is now. A decade on, we have a government every bit as reactionary and illiberal as any Tory government from the past century; official...
...book would be hokey, and TIME's review of the film confirmed my fears. I take exception, though, to Richard Corliss's apparent condemnation of the source material. I have been reading fantasy and science fiction for more than two decades. Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn) is captivating and original, with an audience that goes far beyond pubescent girls.

...stick-breaking powerhouse like contemporaries Keith Moon and John Bonham, Mitchell nevertheless helped revolutionize rock drumming with his finesse. As journalist and musician Felix Contreras noted, Mitchell held his sticks like a jazz player, lightly between his thumb and two fingers, sometimes losing them during performances, to little negative effect. Still, he could propel a song: on tracks like "Fire" and "Manic Depression" he proved a perfect match for Hendrix's guitar. Even after the band split, the two performed together at Woodstock...
...while driving jobs overseas, it should not take long for Barack Obama to set the record straight on which party is actually pushing the "failed policies of the past." The only question is whether he will be able to continue blaming Republicans for the disastrous policies of Democrats. Robert Moon, CINCINNATI, OHIO...
