"Those are really important values," Mrs. Clinton said. "Boy, that's a big word--responsibility--isn't it?" She went on to visit a literacy program before heading to a 50th anniversary gala for unicef. She was talking about the things she has always cared about, normally to rooms full of earnest activists and an indifferent camera or two.

...when the Vatican released a 14-page report declaring a genuine (if limited) repentance for the church's role in the Holocaust. Or when Cuba altered its attitude (somewhat) toward Christianity, and Castro invited the Pope for a visit. Or when Northern Ireland made a formal decision not to keep killing itself (for a while). The sound of one mind changing can make one hell of a yarn...
