...than pleased (even a little proud) to see this great man on the cover of Time [June 6]. Schröder has been a stellar head of government from the day he took office. Always aware of Germany's past and its responsibility to the future, yet never losing sight of the social and economic challenges his country faces, Schröder has followed in the footsteps of the greatest statesman Germany ever had, Willy Brandt. Underestimated at home as well as abroad, Schröder legalized gay marriage, eased immigration laws, inaugurated an impressive (and long overdue) Holocaust memorial...
...German and an avid supporter of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder [June 6]. Schröder has been a stellar head of government from the day he took office. Always aware of Germany's past and its responsibility to the future yet never losing sight of the social and economic challenges his country faces, Schröder has followed in the footsteps of the greatest statesman Germany ever had, Willy Brandt.

Journalists have the right to protect data they think are confidential, the same way a doctor must protect the confidentiality of patients. Anyone who loves freedom will realize that the Supreme Court must rule in favor of Cooper and Miller. The U.S. government should...
...Newsweek's botched item on mistreatment of the Koran at the U.S. detention center at Guantá namo Bay [May 30]: The media have let themselves be bamboozled by the Bush Administration once again. Officials concentrated on putting out stories about how Newsweek got it wrong, and we lost sight of the story of the desecration of the Koran. Our mainstream media outlets are much too quick with the mea culpas. How about a little tenacity when it comes to standing up to the White House? Shouldn't Bush's spotty National Guard record have been pursued instead...
