Against this landscape, both sides are focusing on their core supporters. Republicans are signing up those who share their values but haven't registered, in particular chasing young, mobile Evangelicals with a message aimed straight at their hearts. "It's the heavy, heavy red-meat stuff," says a top Republican activist. On the Democratic side, Dean's rise to the top of the heap is not so much the raising up of an obscure ex-Governor from a tiny state as it is evidence that a candidate can ride the tidal wave of Democratic indignation. The Democratic base still burns...
...people in central Bohemia, singing lyrics like: "Enough tolerance ... Your future is ovens and gas chambers." Most incidents like these do not make headlines. Although they would be denounced by the vast majority of Europeans, they are often not recognized by police - and their perpetrators aren't necessarily hard-core extremists. Different countries have different definitions of hate crime, and different ways of punishing offenders. But most agree that hate crimes are prompted by what the victim represents - a religion, race, nationality or, in some cases, sexual preference. Hard statistics are tough to find, since in most countries data collection...
...ever-closer union. The heart of the matter is power, interest and identity - today and in the Europe to come. It is a safe bet that the constitutional draft will not be ready this month.

Whether on Iraq or on the stability pact, various sets of Europe's nations have replied: Not France and Germany, not any duo or threesome.

The financing of this country’s electoral campaigns should continually be funded publicly as a commitment to equal expression of political visions by all viable candidates—regardless of the financial influence of their core electoral supporters. But such a noble spirit is unfortunately out of the question in the struggle against the current incumbent who, at this early date, has already exceeded his prodigious 2000 grand total of around $100 million. For the Democrats who can raise more money than would be allowed by the constraints...
...meantime, we ought to strive to educate our community not only about legal risks and responsibilities, but also about the defenses and the process for appeals, which is as yet unclear at Harvard. There’s an important issue of academic integrity at the core of this problem. Harvard is not Verizon. Values other than maximizing shareholder value ought to hold sway in the University environment. Universities should make it plain how a student can assert a defense. Universities ought to support their students in cases like Slater?...
