...political freedoms for impoverished individuals throughout the developing world [May 21]. Not only did he highlight the fundamental relationship between economics and politics, but he also encouraged readers to question the export of American democracy. When democratization entails so many civilian deaths and economic dependence, is there any wonder that it is met with resistance and failure? It is time for a shift from the Bush Administration's vague, rhetorical emphasis on freedom to more concrete markers of democracy: human rights, peace and citizen participation.

...real interest is in the iconographic pairing of the lovers. Argento is one of those severe, strong-featured women who exhales the toxic sexuality of a vixen painted by Goya.

He is half-joking. But what if the Pope said yes? What new wonder might emerge when two smart men agree to disagree but then keep talking...
...wonder so many states have watered down their expectations. An analysis by researchers at the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit, found that the quality of educational standards--which are detailed, grade-by-grade, subject-by-subject learning goals--declined in 30 states from 2000 to 2006. That includes the four states--Delaware, Kansas, North Carolina and Oklahoma--said to be on track for 2014. Overall, only three states earned an A from Fordham on curriculum standards--which are also the basis for state tests; 37 rated C-- or below...
