...jumped an ocean and half a century to bring forward this episode only because it seems so strikingly relevant. In a curious trick of history, the American Tea Party—those who protest Obama’s tax policies by evoking 1773’s colonial steeping of three shiploads of British loose leaf in Boston Harbor—have much in common with their ex-antagonist country’s Angry Young Men. They’re deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. They think (justifiably) that nobody takes them seriously. They lack any theoretically rigorous suggestions...
...rallies?” a friend back home asked me. I have; they’re absurd. Like any gathering of the politically discontent, the movement has its share of loonies, guys in tar-and-feather just as happy smearing Obama as handing out Oswald conspiracy pamphlets.

But if these competing visions indicate a coming struggle for the soul of the party, they also indicate optimism, as groups vie to put their imprimatur on the movement at a time when Congress is paralyzed by gridlock, the Obama Administration's agenda is sputtering, and the midterm elections are shaping up as a favorable cycle...
...Bavaria. Stand in the lobby, though, and the eccentric ruler, famed for his love of golden chariots, towering palaces and extravagant grottoes, definitely does not spring to mind. Would he really have taken to these simple clean lines and neutral color palettes, or joined guests for a tea ceremony in Emiko, the hotel's Japanese restaurant? Perhaps not. But he might have appreciated the flock of beautiful origami birds fluttering in the alcove, or the playful furniture (it's designed to look like luggage) in each of the 72 spacious bedrooms.
