...that spells out his ambitious plans to make Hong Kong a richer, cleaner, more equitable and more democratic society. In a town run by an aggregation of élites, he has pressed the flesh in working-class neighborhoods, engaged in televised candidate debates with Leong, and even taken a ride in an open-topped bus, waving to people who can't vote for him. Tsang is doing all this because he wants a wider mandate; he is a man with something to prove. "My objective," Tsang told TIME in an interview in his campaign office, "is not only...

...Dukakis. When he visited Mexican troops battling drug gangs in western Michoacán state earlier this year, Calderón donned an olive green army jacket and a five-star general's cap and was later photographed in a military Hummer. That incongruous image conjured unflattering comparisons to the tank ride that doomed Dukakis' U.S. presidential hopes in 1988. But Calderón has not only weathered the ridicule; he has thrived on it. Elected with just 36% of the vote last July, his approval ratings have climbed to nearly...
