...following momentous visits to Turkey and Brazil, the 80-year-old Pope begins a three-day September swing that looks similar - on paper - to his low-key itinerary back a year ago. He hopped back just across the Alps on Friday, this time for three days in Austria, which sits just on the border of his native Bavaria. He will again deliver a series of speeches in German, including an address Friday evening to a gathering of international diplomats in Vienna that touched on some hot-button issues facing world leaders. Speaking with a slightly hoarse voice, the Pope delivered...

So what was Kouchner's purpose in the Iraqi quagmire that most of his countrymen look to with "we told you so" dismay? In large part, to send the clear signal to Washington that France is determined to continue mending diplomatic relations that deteriorated, in large part, over Iraq...
...with the tale of John Edwards and the $400 haircut. On July 16, Edwards embarked on a three-day, 12-city tour to highlight the persistence of poverty in the U.S. Asked why he thought poverty was a winning issue, Edwards gave an unusual response for a presidential candidate: "I don't know that it is. This is not a political strategy. It's a huge moral issue facing America...
