Privately, campaign officials were realistic about what lies ahead: a big momentum boost for Obama, and certainly, an avalanche of campaign cash. (A win by former North Carolina Senator John Edwards would have done far less damage, because he lacks the financial resources and organization to go forward.) If there was any consolation, it was that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee's big win guarantees a spirited race on the G.O.P. side, and New Hampshire independents, who have a choice of participating in either party's primary, might lean towards voting with the G.O.P. Polling has indicated, however, that unaffiliated...
...Cold River vodka, which gets its characteristic softness from Maine potatoes grown by brothers Lee and Donnie Thibodeau and water from the nearby Cold River aquifer. The brothers got the idea of making vodka several years ago, when the Atkins diet craze turned potatoes into a less than reliable cash crop. Their longtime friend and now partner Bob Harkins did some research and "found that the vodka category was exploding, driven especially by the high-end premium category."

The next day my fellow travelers and I received our visas and boarded a Soviet-era Tupolev plane belonging to Air Koryo, the national North Korean airline, for the two-hour flight to Pyongyang. We had no itinerary because our trip was considered "secret" information...
...fact that the presidential campaigns we’re witnessing have become sickeningly well-oiled and potent political machines, with the newspapers and cable news channels hovering nearby, awestruck and totally indulgent sidekicks. As these behemoths prepare to churn their way through the big coastal cities, gathering cash and celebrity endorsements over the course of 2008, at the very least we can make them start their year slowed to a crawl and under scrutiny in a Dubuque diner. Thank heaven for hayseeds. James M. Larkin ’10, a Crimson editorial editor, is a social studies concentrator in Quincy...
...cozied up to Pakistan once more, though with uncertain effects. More than $10 billion in U.S. aid has flowed into Pakistan since 2001, most of it intended to fund the fights against al-Qaeda and remnants of the Taliban. But U.S. officials acknowledge that much of the cash has been diverted to defense programs aimed at India, itself now a U.S. ally...
