...like to thank Alice Park and the folks at TIME for the article on Dara Torres. As a 40-year-old father of three young ones, I have long taken pride in my training and strength. I invested a lot of time in trail-running and martial arts. However, this past November I underwent neurosurgery to remove a tumor from my spinal cord. I now need a cane to walk and have lost dexterity in my right arm. Not only will women be cheering for Dara, but us "older" guys will be stomping our canes for her as well. Robert...

...dismay of most Republicans, he supports a cap-and-trade program to limit carbon emissions, although the candidate himself seems not to fully understand that a hidden carbon tax is involved. McCain's opposition to disgraceful boondoggles like the farm bill, which Obama favored, is a real strength, as is his clarity about the economic advantages of free-trade agreements - a weak dollar makes exports the most promising area of economic growth. But for every proposal, there is a conflicting counterproposal: McCain wants alternative-energy research and development, but he would freeze nondiscretionary domestic spending, which would limit the government...
