The probable Republican nominee for president and historically, McCain apparently didn’t let his self-styled reputation as the Senate’s most adamant ethics watchdog slow him down when Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg offered him a plane ride. The Arizona senator—who is becoming more and more like his constituency with each passing year—was celebrated when he helped birth the Reform Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping corporate money out of American politics; that same senator didn?...

Rising prices have put hard cash into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of small farmers across the country. The boom should translate into votes for Abdullah's government and for the National Front, a coalition of more than a dozen political parties that has held a majority in parliament since the country became independent in 1957.
