...reject what he called one of the prevailing arguments against him, asserting that he is capable of taking on the Republican nominee in the general election. “Their ideas are bankrupt right now,” he said of the Republican primary field. “Scooter Libby justice and Karl Rove politics will be over next year.” In his introductory speech, Kerry compared Obama as a young leader to Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King, Jr. “He doesn’t seek to perfect the politics of swift-boating...
...reports of protests, but consumers are testy. On Jan. 29, Zhang Liying, a 36-year-old mother of one, shuffled into the supermarket near her apartment outside Shanghai, knocked snow off of her boots and started shopping for dinner. Bundled up against bitter temperatures, she had ridden her scooter to the store and was "frozen now," she said. But when Zhang got to the vegetable section, you could practically see the steam coming from her ears. Half a kilo of greens now cost 1.09 renminbi (about 15?).

Although I grew up in New York after his playing days were over, he was with me every game from his broadcast booth. He shared his take on the plays, but even more important, he shared his enthusiasm, which was 100%. His coverage was clearly biased--he loved...
...Minh City [Dec. 17]. My entire time there centered on trying to figure out ways to cross the streets with few regulated crosswalks and with often ignored traffic lights. On more than one occasion, I tried to get up the nerve to step out into the oncoming sea of scooters; a kind Vietnamese would take my hand and lead me across, and on the other side, we both would laugh, knowing that for a foreigner, navigating the scooter-packed streets on foot was a major challenge. But I must say it added to my beautiful experience visiting such an amazing...
