When the President jets off to India (as well as Pakistan) next week, it will be his first visit to the region and the first by a Republican president in 35 years, since Richard Nixon traveled there.

...take on a funk-tinged hip hop song, it would’ve been fine. But such cannot be the case with the cinematic music video: the song is interrupted by an extraordinarily unfunny interlude in which West comments on his infamous remarks about the president (here symbolized by Nixon) and two women with afros berate him for being with a white girl (Pamela Anderson).If all of this accomplishes anything, it’s to illustrate the difference between a movie and a music video.

...country had little idea what had occurred. But Coretta King, alight with gratitude, told her family and friends, who told others, who spread the word. Dr. King's father, Martin Luther King Sr., himself a renowned Baptist preacher, had come out a few weeks before for Vice President Nixon, mainly on religious grounds. But this episode was enough too convince him that he could vote for a Catholic candidate after all. "Because this man was willing to wipe the tears from my daughter (in-law's) eyes" he said, "I've got a suitcase of votes, and I'm going...
