...Revolution,” McCain protests, brandishing his American Conservative Union lifetime rating of 83 percent, compared to eight percent for Sen. Barack Obama. Still, conservatives charge insubordination: The maverick pulls his punches with his Democratic opponents, yet pummels his Republican allies. To win the Right’s trust, he must fight for it, not against...
...Whenever Bardem or Cruz are on screen, VCB finds its heart. It sees them as fully in tune with their feelings: totally willing, and why not?, to act on impulses they've learned to trust. The Americans are children by comparison, a little stiff, so conditioned to overanalyzing every attraction that they would lose the moment - if only there weren't a Don Juan Antonio to send seismic shivers up their consciences...

But assessing how governments will conduct themselves is not like the common law, where precedents accrete until they solidify into doctrine that shapes future conduct. The dreadful famine in North Korea in the 1990s, for instance...
