...call Bertie. Some pols "use security as an umbrella" to avoid contact with their electorates, says Ahern. "I'd go bonkers if I was stuck inside." Burnishing his everyman appeal is a gift for mangling sentences as thoroughly as President Bush: he famously warned against "throwing white elephants and red herrings" and "upsetting the apple tart." Ahern dresses like a man of the people, too. U2 frontman Bono has lobbied him on Africa and professes "enormous respect" for his countryman, who has committed to reaching the U.N.'s aid target ahead of schedule. But that respect isn't immediately reflected...

...first sign that we are entering a dead zone is the carcass of a camel, gathering flies and red dust. Since camels can go for three weeks without water, according to local farmers, the heap of fur, hair and bleached bones is an ominous sight. We enter a mud-walled, straw-roofed village. Instead of offering the usual smiles and waves, the children duck away. The reason for the villagers' fear becomes evident a few minutes later: nine turbaned men on horseback, members of the Arab militia known as the Janjaweed, appear with rifles over their shoulders. We are gone...

In December 1607, Smith described his royal state: "He sat covered with a great robe, made of raccoon skins, and all the tails hanging by," flanked by "two rows of men, and behind them as many women, with all their heads and shoulders painted red." The settlers hoped to make...

...will keep offending colleges on their toes. Once the scandal has subsided, a skeptical eye will be turned towards student loans for many years to come. Such public and legal pressure is preferable to federal legislation or regulation. Institutions of higher education are autonomous and largely free from federal red tape for a reason—so they can pursue their educational mission. Even the best intended federal regulations may infringe on the ability of colleges to educate their students. Besides, with so many colleges and universities using different loan schemes and such strong incentives to find new ways...
