...castle belongs to England's reigning Queen; the loyal subject pounding the pavement outside commands other realms. Sebastian Coe, 27, holds world marks for the mile and for the 800-and 1,500-meter runs, the most regal array of records in the history of middle-distance running. He is also struggling uphill after a bout with toxoplasmosis, an infection that he contracted last year. Coe's comeback after an enforced five-month layoff will not be fully tested until he steps onto the track at Los Angeles, where he will compete in both the 800 and 1,500 meters...

Cuomo's credo is defiantly traditional and defiantly conventional. He states in the regal third-person: "...HE WILL [govern] ON THE BASIS OF TRADITIONAL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES, WHICH HE HAS CONVERTED INTO SPECIFIC IDEAS THAT ARE TRADITIONAL AND DEMOCRATIC." Cuomo's vision shines brightly because it is so forthright--government can and should help those who can't help themselves--and so innocent, unsullied by the ravages wrought by deficit spending and the gimmicky neo-liberalism developed...
