...Crazy Little Thing Called Hate Rich Lowry's Viewpoint, "The World of Hillary Hatred," was off the mark [Nov. 19]. What conservatives hate about Clinton is that she is a woman.

Equal rights have always been anathema to them, but since that stance is politically unacceptable today, conservatives can't admit the true reason for their opposition to her. The male-dominated right wing has created a bogeyman, or in this case a bogeywoman. And women on the right are just as afraid of a woman President as their male counterparts. They...

Anwar blames the NEP both for breeding corruption and decreasing competitiveness, since many lucrative state contracts are reserved for bumiputra companies. "Globalization does not treat kindly people who feel as though they must be protected because of injustices from colonial times," says...
...early, proceed globally and undertake research and development on low-emission energy systems to improve our options. The best guess is that the annual cost of the changeover will remain below 1% of the world's annual income, a very modest price to avoid a potential earthshaking danger. The rich countries will have to help the poor countries in three ways: to get access to the needed low-emission technologies; to bear part of the increased costs of energy in the poor countries at least until those countries can afford it on their own; and to take steps to adjust...
