...couldn't help drawing parallels between America's First Lady enthusiastically organizing an evening in Washington where successful women could mingle with girls to help support the aspirations and diverse potential of a small segment of America's youth, and the private parties reported to have been hosted by Italy's Prime Minister Berlusconi, where young Italian women were encouraged to sing and dance, grooming them for a career in show business, or maybe politics. After all, what's the difference? Makes you wonder what is to become of Italy's young female population. Catherine Minciotti, MONTEFIASCONE, ITALY...
...next June, but the results of last week's municipal and European polls - a historic rout for Labour, a solid performance from the Conservatives and gains for fringe outfits including the far-right British National Party - graphically illustrated the concerns that launched Purnell's kamikaze mission. Labour's support has slumped under Brown. It has hemorrhaged support among the affluent voters of Middle England whose endorsement is essential to securing a parliamentary majority, and whom it wooed successfully in the 1990s.

"It's taken five years to get the support," says Shige. "But we also need the kind of policies that keep people from becoming depressed in the first place"--particularly by bolstering the safety net for people with mental disorders and those who have...
...that is more socially libertarian, particularly toward gay rights. With changing demographics come changing attitudes, and aping the grim town elders from Footloose is not the path back to a Republican White House. The pro-life movement can still be a central part of the GOP - it has support among all ages (and a slim majority of Latino voters) - but the overall GOP view on abortion must aggressively embrace the big tent...
