...transition—not only for the black freedom struggle he helped to lead, but also for a nation still struggling to overcome the burdens of its complex history. This was King's deepest meditation on the intersecting crises of racism, poverty, and war, and it offers a prophetic roadmap for all of us who are still struggling to find community and justice in the midst of chaos and division. These matters weighed heavily on Dr. King in 1967, and they should weigh heavily on all of us who still dare to dream of a better world...

Obama called Ryan's "Roadmap for America's Future" a "serious proposal" and praised its author as a "pretty sincere guy" with a "beautiful family."

"The only way really to get the Greek Cypriots to move forward is pressure from outside," says Munir. "But the question is who could apply that?" It is also a delicate issue...
...ahead of Obama's visit, said the issue would not be resolved during this weekend's talks. Recently instated U.S. ambassador John Roos said last month to reporters in Tokyo that the U.S. was willing to work with Japan on the issue: "The solution [on Futenma] is the realignment roadmap that has been agreed to. You have to give the Hatoyama administration time." If that is indeed the solution, Hatoyama might take much longer than the U.S. wants...
