...Democrats put together a coalition not just of declining and disadvantaged groups - industrial workers and African Americans - but - also of rising forces like Hispanics, Asians, and well-to-do whites in the expanding service sector. But strategic repositioning - offering both honey and condensed milk - is easier in the Anglo-American two-party system that doesn't throw up parties to the left of the left...
...attacks have sparked wide-ranging discussions on racism and discrimination in Australia, a nation still raw from the 2005 Cronulla race riots where thousands of Anglo-Australians engaged in violent clashes with Australian youth of Middle Eastern appearance at a well-known beach in Sydney's south.

The issue facing South Asian students is far larger than a few isolated - and possibly opportunistic - attacks, says Unni, the Sydney coordinator of the Federation of Indian Students of Australia.

...with lawns, so with language: the Brits are simply better at caressing and spanking the English language, because they've had so much more practice. The latest proof of their verbal dexterity comes in a crackerjack comedy, In the Loop, which takes the Anglo-American ramp-up to the invasion of Iraq and replays the tragedy as farce. Politics aside, which they never are in this acid, acute talkathon, it's a study of office politics in the middle and upper levels of two large, powerful, troubled corporations: the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
