The ANC will elect its next President later this month at a party congress, and Mbeki's party deputy and bitter rival Jacob Zuma has already established a crushing lead over the incumbent. Mbeki will continue as South Africa's President until 2009, when the constitution demands he relinquish that post too. Yet even as they prepare for his long goodbye, few South Africans could tell you much about who Mbeki is or what has motivated his now fading political career...

Game one was all Harvard, as the Crimson got out to an early lead and did not relinquish it.

And that means you've got to have somebody who will fight. And I know that I will fight...
This delicate dance is a result of Musharraf's uniquely powerful hold over the White House. The Bush Administration continues to insist it wants Musharraf to stay on the path to democracy, relinquish his position as head of the military as he promised and hold elections before January 15. But it is still unclear what happens if Musharraf doesn't do any of these things. Bush's pro-democracy goals for the country seem as much in conflict as ever with the U.S.'s other goal - to stamp out the Taliban in Afghanistan and dismantle terrorist networks operating inside Pakistan...
