Obama criticized the way in 1992-93, the way you handled your quest for more universal health care in America, and has said that he would do it in a more open fashion. Is he being naive in terms of whether it is possible to solve this in a transparent way? Well, what I learned from that process is that it is not the executive branch that is going to really determine what the outcome of this health care debate is. It is the legislative branch. They have hearings. They have open public hearings on the plans we suggested. They...
...brother read off the sign we’d approached, articulating every syllable like our own little Roberto Benigni in the back seat. My dad’s brow had grown increasingly furrowed as his high hopes for finding Iacurso gradually plummeted—our quest seemed dead, having found its final resting place at this seemingly private cemetery just off the arid dirt road...

...were more transparent about the factors that made Kosovo worthy of recognition, they could help shape new guidelines. A claimant has a far stronger claim if, like Kosovo, it is relatively homogeneous and not yet self-governing, if it has been abused by the sovereign government and if its quest for independence does not incite its kin in a neighboring country to make comparable demands. Not all secessionists can clear that bar. Iraq's Kurds, for instance, are clamoring for independence. But the Kurds are already exercising self-government, and their independence could have the destabilizing effect of causing...
