...same can be said of John McCain, though his trademark medium is comparatively modest. Instead of the massive event, McCain is most at home in the town-hall meeting, a modern twist on the old New England civic institution, in which neighbors gather to participate in pure democracy. For McCain, the town hall is more than just a chance for him to spread his message of staying the course in Iraq and cutting taxes and spending. The gathering is itself the message he wants to deliver...

With the old iPhone (which ran on AT&T's Edge network) on one side and the new one (which runs on AT&T's 3G network) on the other, Jobs loaded a photo-heavy Web page at nationalgeographic.com. It took...
...funny as it might be, but is as funny as it needs to be. Agreeably directed by Dennis Dugan, conceived by its star, Adam Sandler, and one-third written by him (his co-conspirators are Robert Smigel and Judd Apatow), the picture bears many of the latter's trademark moves. That is to say it is simultaneously a little bit vulgar and a little bit sentimental and comes out as a virtually bullet-proof blend for the mass, summertime audience...
