Well, of course. But some of these sins are hardly worth a serious confession. As Bruce Babbitt, an engaging and now almost-forgotten Democratic candidate, pointed out half a generation ago, the U.S. is a big country - it takes time for all but the best-known politicians to make themselves familiar enough with folks to win their vote. And in politics, time means money - which you have to raise one way or another. The army of reporters who follow the campaign may have their moments of self-importance, but they act as a noisy Greek chorus on politics, ensuring (especially...
...businessmen like Kim Cheul Young of sockmaker Sunghwa, the protracted headaches of negotiating with the North certainly seem worth it. He pays his 330 North Korean workers about $57 per month, almost 20% less than what he pays workers in China, and that, along with other advantages on offer at Kaesong, has persuaded Kim to increase his Kaesong production significantly in the coming months and hire an additional 370 North Korean workers before the end of the year.

The faculty must agree it is bizarre that the current system, supposedly meant to acquaint students with various disciplines, ignores courses such as Psychology 1, “Introduction to Psychology” and History 20a, “Western Intellectual History...
...worth remembering that the arguments of consultants have a half-life shorter than a gnat in this race. McCain's campaign in New Hampshire is itself evidence of the unpredictability of this election. (Romney outspent McCain by a margin of at least four to one here, for one thing.) In the hours before results started to come in, top McCain aides were still unsure if they would even...
...picket, the press conference format raises all sorts of questions for the nominees, say their publicists. Do you attend a press conference for an award you may lose? What do you wear to a press conference? Isn't it tacky to borrow tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewels when people have lost their jobs? Part of the fun of the Golden Globes in the past has been the spontaneity of an event put on by journalists rather than producers, but this Golden Globes may be just too unscripted for actors to handle. "This event will be a nonevent...
