This kind of result plays right into the hands of those who deride ballot initiatives as worthless reflections of an uneducated public’s selfish, shortsighted urges of the moment. If voters are not, on the whole, intelligent or thoughtful enough even to retain the memory of one piece of propaganda’s message when they come across another a few minutes later, how can they be trusted with anything? These are, after all, the same people who almost passed Massachusetts’ Question 1, a binding referendum which would have eliminated all state income...

Zafarullah Khan Jamali, 58, a tribal chieftain from Baluchistan, narrowly defeated his closest rival, a pro-Taliban preacher.

One solution to the current dilemma? Divest major assets...

While it does retain much of the energy of the performance, it is difficult to make out exactly what the words are in the vastness of the Church, which is frustrating when the lyrics are so passionately rendered. The concert itself was considerably longer than a single CD allows, so the songs have been culled down to album length, reducing three of them to brief “Interludes.” Though...
