...then all sorts of chaos breaks out. But I think it's much better that way than endlessly prerehearsing, sanitizing, homogenizing, pasteurizing everything you say to the point of macrobiotic extinction." Some voters will be charmed by such candor. Others will question his suitability to speak for London. But win or lose, Johnson is already performing a public service by making Britons laugh...
...almost anywhere else in the country. Yes, there were mind-numbing and endless sleek television ads, hyped rallies and forceful phone calls and mail pieces. But an extraordinary number of Iowa voters made their decisions because of face-to-face contact with the candidates. They listened to the contenders speak and told their own stories. With the candidates unable to hide behind consultants or façades, their worry lines, hoarse voices and unguarded reactions were on full display.

France as metaphor for America. Anti-French hostility...
...Benazir, whom she once described as "the most dangerous woman in Pakistan." The decision to go with Bilawal appears to have come after his father turned down the job in deference to the slain Benazir's expressed wishes. The senior PPP official, who requested anonymity to allow him to speak more openly, told TIME that Bilawal will head the party, and that the party's deputy leader and longtime Benazir loyalist, Mukhdoom Amin Fahim, is likely to become the prime minister, assuming the party wins a majority in parliament. Bilawal would take over as the parliamentary leader once he finishes...
