...fact, that raises the question, Is there more power to be gained by influencing politics from the outside than by running for office? Fox News chief Roger Ailes recently knocked down rumors that he was considering a presidential run, and no wonder. Running the network, he has more influence on conservatism than John Boehner or Michael Steele does. Besides, talk is cheap, but politics is expensive. One of America's most successful media figures turned politician is New York City's Michael Bloomberg--a mogul rather than a screen personality--and he was barely able to buy a third term...

The authorities reacted ferociously, with bullets and batons, killing several people...

...country's stunning economic collapse - and who has to pay in the aftermath. Critics say Iceland has only itself to blame: the sparsely populated island had a mainly fish-based economy until the early 2000s, when it deregulated its banks and tried to reinvent itself as a global financial power - with disastrous results. Banks such as Landsbanki moved aggressively into European markets and racked up incredible debts - partially because of poor government oversight - which they were then unable to refinance...
