...enough of a politician to know he cannot be a change agent all by himself. There are myriad ways he can stumble. His pledge to improve people's livelihoods will be hard to fulfill. On cross-strait initiatives, he requires Beijing to go along, and, within his own party, he has to walk a tightrope between competing factions. But Ma should be able to lean on the KMT-controlled legislature and, in a bid to heal the island's divisions between the two main parties and between mainlanders and Taiwanese, he has reached out to the DPP, acknowledging its contribution...

Maldonado ’10, a former Crimson news writer, said her burrito “was not delicious.” And Ben, a student from the Belmont Hill School who asked that his last name not be used...
...potential 2012 Democratic presidential nominee. Spitzer apologized for his "private failings," but he said nothing to explain why he would have thrown it all away, why he risked so much. He had built a reputation as an ethical crusader, and as a former prosecutor, he knew well the myriad electronic and surveillance tools that reveal hidden arrangements for crimes like prostitution. Just last year, Spitzer had signed a law that lengthened jail time for johns from three months to as much as a year...
