...house expected shortly, the commission is to start work next April. It will be authorized to penetrate all levels of secrecy inside the banks, but unfortunately for those who want swift answers, it has been given up to five years to finish its task. The panel will try to trace the "fate of assets which reached Switzerland as a result of National Socialist rule" in Germany. That includes questions of complicity with the Nazis, illicit profits, and illegal gold and currency transactions. Individual claims by the relatives of Jewish victims, however, will be left to the Volcker commission...

Lori Lucas lives in Shrewsbury, Missouri, an undecided voter in a bellwether town in the ultimate swing state.

But Out There was the last place where this woman could talk with her daughter. Now, it seems, she watches helplessly over a transformation she feels powerless to prevent...
...shops in Iowa and New Hampshire, and dozens of us capture a politician talking to a single petrified farmer or shopkeeper or housewife. And every word that candidate utters has been polled and market-tested until nothing fresh remains. We brought conventions into living rooms across America, and every trace of honest disagreement, every hint of personal eccentricity has long since been banished from the halls. We throw floodlights into the press rooms after debates, and the comments are so meaningless that if one of the candidates pummeled a nun to the ground and stole her purse, we would hear...
