This issue is as traditional as red, white and blue. We call it The Choice--and for us, it's our last chance to evenhandedly lay out the issues for you before you head into the voting booth on Nov. 4. I think of this as a public service for all of our readers and everyone who will vote. It makes sense because our readers are perfectly representative of the country as a whole: they are Republican and Democratic and independent; they live in red states and blue ones and purple ones. Some of you have made up your minds...
...great, good fortune of working with Ed for the past 2 1/2 years, and TIME has had the great, good fortune of having Ed's drive and enthusiasm and deep loyalty for 25 of those 35 years.

But jockdom, he says, is on the wane. "The world is now driven by knowledge economies. China and India and Dubai do not make Big Bang--theory sitcoms marginalizing their geeks and engineers--unless they actually do, in which case...

But this brand of attack is not new, as the article implies. I think of the 1920s and the red scare and the extreme nationalism that led to immigrant quotas. Don't we all look back at that time and shudder at how we treated those who came from another place? Our incredible ingenuity, our innovation, our ideas, our universities - all these are the product of our ability to attract...
