...Haven't they heard what black people have been telling them all these years: that the ranks of major police departments all across the country are full of Fuhrman-style lying bigots? Not all cops, by any means, not even most of them, but enough to generate a steady stream of racially motivated police misconduct. Most of it never makes the national news--the hundreds of cases in which minority suspects are manhandled, beaten or even killed.

When the junta abruptly announced last week that Suu Kyi, 50, was free after 2,190 days of incarceration, it was a constant stream of well -- wishers, not guards, that kept her in the bungalow. Upon learning she was being released, Suu Kyi told TIME, "I said to myself, 'Well, I'm free.' But then I have always felt free...
