...Cliveden trip and widely reprinted in the British press last year. It has been withdrawn from circulation. Old friends stick together, and none more so than Britons bonded through the shared experiences of class and education. One sign of the narrowness of Cameron's natural world: his wife Samantha, although the daughter of a baronet, is widely credited with being her husband's conduit to a more plural society. She's the creative director of stationer and luxury-goods firm Smythson's and, says one of Cameron's close colleagues, "She's very down to earth. She's mildly bohemian...
...Russia's Satellites I appreciated Samantha Power's commentary on Russia's wounded pride [Sept. 1]. My wife is from Ukraine, and in the past several years we have traveled extensively in Ukraine, Russia, and other former Soviet states. Most of these new nations are in effect banana republics, run by wealthy elites. They treat their Russian minorities very poorly. Russians in these countries feel abandoned by ardently nationalist politicians. They see no advantages in democracy - quite the opposite, in fact. In focusing on politics and the machinery of democracy, the West is forgetting about these people, which only fuels...
...Teammate Samantha Peszek, who turned her ankle in the warmup just before the team competition began, had less time to process her injury and how it would impact her Olympic experience.

That being the case, to talk about justice is tantamount to accepting - with a loud "Vae victis" - the iniquities carried out by those who seem convinced that their aggressiveness is - and continues to be - simply above the law.

...second fall of the meet, and it may ultimately have cost the U.S. women the team gold on Wednesday in front of a capacity 19,000 crowd, which mainly rooted against the Americans, at the National Indoor Stadium. Sacramone and her teammates - Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, Chellsie Memmel, Samantha Peszek and Bridget Sloan - ended up with a perfectly respectable silver, 2.375 points behind home-town favorite China. But it wasn't so much that the squad had earned the silver as they had squandered the gold after a string of unusual errors. "A gold medal would have been a little...
