Columnist Joe Klein's admiration for outgoing U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan was misplaced and misguided [Dec. 25, 2006--Jan. 1, 2007]. Annan's 10 years at the U.N. saw the organization's effectiveness and reputation drop to new lows. The list of scandals, misappropriations and misdeeds was surpassed only by the opportunities missed. Ten years ago, I supported the U.N. mission. Now, owing largely to Annan's pathetic leadership, I no longer support the U.S.'s role in the U.N.

I don’t mean to sound like former Harvard psychology lecturer Timothy F. Leary, famous for his advice to “Tune in; turn on; drop out.” I’m not hocking a bunch of naïve, quasi-mystical “consciousness-expansion” cliches. Getting high may be a journey to new realms of consciousness, but it won’t lead to profound epiphanies or transcendence...
...there is, I am just terribly pessimistic, worried to death. We've requested a major disaster declaration from the President, and we think maybe we can get that accomplished so we can start paying people out there. We need to keep feeding those cattle. You don't just drop a load of hay and it's over. They're like people. They need to be fed every...
