Her polemical work excoriates modern America as a societal landscape of spoiled heritage and unrealized potential, populated by Americans who are as ignorant and poorly educated about science as religion. Jacoby condemns unsparingly—objects of her criticism include Harvey...

But three opinion polls released this week reveal widespread antipathy towards the President. The International Republican Institute reported that Musharraf's job approval rating had fallen to a new low of 15% at the end of January, compared with 72% disapproval. A second survey, conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow, found 70% of Pakistanis wanting Musharraf to resign immediately.
