...question regarding foreign relations is whether you plan to draw leftist Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, whose oil wealth helped ease Argentina out of its financial crisis, into a closer alliance or create some distance?

Lucky for me, my fantastic parents often reimburse me for my book expenditures. For students, rich and poor, who are paying out of pocket, this is simply unacceptable...
...Democratic candidates will certainly argue over the fine print of their various proposals in coming months, those differences are not likely to mean much to average voters. The real battle will be convincing Democratic primary voters which candidate can actually turn his or her plan into reality. In that regard, Clinton's health care speech contained a thinly veiled dig at her competition, and particularly Obama, who has been touting himself as the candidate of change. "Change is just a word," she said, "unless you have the strength and experience to make it happen...
