...Senate is not to everyone's tastes either. One of those who discovered that it wasn't, ironically enough, was Robert F. Kennedy. When he held the very seat to which Caroline now aspires, R.F.K. bristled at its aggravatingly slow pace, as well as the reality that junior members, no matter how famous, are expected to wait their turn. That, Caroline Kennedy may discover, is the difference between running for the Senate and serving there...

...like drone complements the futuristic sounds of “Womanizer” and “Mannequin,” but its ubiquitous presence soon becomes grating. And without the driving shock factor, milder songs never come together. “Out From Under,” a slow-dance track with sappy lyrics about dreams, ends up sounding like something you’d hear at an 8th grade party. In the sniveling “My Baby,” Britney thanks her children for helping her through hard times, but her repeated cooing is more irksome...

But the enemy escaped into Pakistan, and for the past seven years, Afghanistan has been a slow bleed against an array of mostly indigenous narco-jihadi-tribal guerrilla forces that we continue to call the "Taliban." These ragtag bands are funded by opium profits and led by assorted religious extremists and druglords, many of whom have safe havens in Pakistan...

...response from him." Even the fact that scores of Zimbabweans are dying every day from a disease contracted by ingesting fecal matter in water - which can be cured at a cost of a few cents per dose of medication - won't produce a tipping point. "This is actually a slow process of degradation," says Vines. "And it can drag on for a very long time. Cholera just draws attention to it again. The story has not changed."
