...painting by Fareeha Ghezal Yousufzai that depicts this scene is part of "Make Art, Not War," the first-ever independent exhibition of works by female Afghan painters outside the strife-torn country. On display in Bonn until September 9 - after which it will move on to Austria, Italy, Spain, China, and the U.S. - this remarkable exposition is itself a symbol of hope, and not only for the 21 students from the Center for Contemporary Arts-Afghanistan (CCAA) in Kabul whose works it includes.

...campaign has been that rare, frictionless machine that runs with the energy of an insurgency and the efficiency of a corporation. His team has lacked what his rivals' have specialized in: there have been no staff shake-ups, no financial crises, no change in game plan and no visible strife. Even its campaign slogan - "Change we can believe in" - has remained the same...
