Having a foot in both worlds likewise allows Huckabee to play both media darling and media outsider. When he ran into controversy over a Christmas TV ad, he could blame it on a secular-culture "war against Christmas." When he pulled a negative TV ad yet showed it at a press conference, he explained the apparent hypocrisy by saying the skeptical press gave him no choice but to show it to them. Yet he's also a more ubiquitous presence on newscasts than the HeadOn commercials. He's running against, and on the backs of, the media...
Science happens every day. Long before there was politics or economics or global affairs, science ran the show. In-depth science coverage is part of the DNA of TIME, and we've been at it a while, starting with our cover story on physician and Nobel laureate Sir Frederick Grant Banting, in our Aug. 27, 1923, issue, in the first year of the magazine's existence...

Disney's latest offering - The Little Mermaid, based on Disney's 1989 animated hit, which opened at Broadway's Lunt-Fontanne Theatre last week - has received the usual fusillade.

And if he's not carefully tailoring his messages any longer, why was his campaign so beautifully suited to the state of Michigan? "His detractors say he ran for the governor of Michigan," says Neil Newhouse, Romney's pollster from his Massachusetts races...
...wordless anthem while winners from elsewhere sang their paeans to national glory. In October, the Spanish Olympic Committee, seeking to bring an end to their suffering, launched a competition to put words to the Marcha Real, Spain's official tune since the 18th century. When the contest opened, doubts ran high that a country with so many distinct - and antagonistic - political identities would be able to settle on a single set of lyrics. But when the winning words were leaked to the Spanish newspaper ABC on Friday, politicans across the political spectrum showed surprising agreement in their reception...
