...changing notions of liberty and nature; the Victorian era, about emerging concepts of gender and family life; colonialism, about the hubris of liberal humanism. The last hour neatly encapsulates the entire 20th century by comparing Winston Churchill and George Orwell and the very different ways the aristocrat and the socialist championed freedom...
...drove to Washington with me: another Harvard undergraduate, a Harvard Medical School doctor and two other Bostonians. It was already mid-morning, and few “ordinary” people were in sight.

Since the famously photographed murder of a Socialist leader by a right-wing youth in 1960, being a Japanese politician has been hazardous to little more than one's ego.

Veltchev's intention, he says, is simply "to pursue the right economic policies." He is frustrated by what he calls the "socialist mentality still prevalent" among many Bulgarians. "Things like privatization and structural reforms are sometimes easier than the most fundamental change - getting people to start thinking in market- economy terms, to stop expecting the government to take care of them." Veltchev has the cour-age of his convictions, but some socialist...
