...what appears from the outside as a serene Cartesian box gives way inside to something ever more complicated. On either side of the building's interior "piazza" are two giant spheres, both sliced at the bottom. One is an opaque steel ball that encloses the 290-seat planetarium. The other, a glass globe, holds a multistory re-creation of a rain forest. This globe in turn sits against a wide glass wall that looks onto the cultivated woodlands of Golden Gate Park, mingling views of rain forest and parkland until this very rational building seems just about overtaken...
...presidential nominees have cultivated reputations as change agents and truth tellers, but their tepid, hedged support for the emergency package didn't look reassuring either. Obama has taken a cautious and detached approach, articulating principles--transparency, oversight, limits on golden parachutes, protections for taxpayers and homeowners--but mostly staying out of the way. He didn't really act like a leader, but he doesn't hold a leadership position, and so far voters seem to appreciate his cool response. While Washington Mutual and Wachovia were disappearing and investment banks were going extinct overnight, Obama was pulling ahead in the polls...

And Pelosi, in a partisan speech, was not exactly a tower of political courage either, although if any Republican voted against the bill because of her speech--as some GOP leaders believe was the case--it would take partisan sensitivity to ridiculous new lows. While it's true that the Democrats could have passed the measure themselves, it was an Administration bill, moderated through...
...second Democratic seat in the U.S. Senate next month. The shift came about largely because the state GOP continued to nominate right-wing candidates, while Democrats recruited centrist politicians who often combined prosecutorial backgrounds with aw-shucks demeanors. And it is because neither McCain nor Obama fits either mold that the state is even close this year...
...mayor's breakfast room next to her husband Todd as they discussed her plans to run for governor. Palin was weighing whether to run as an Independent or a Republican, Heyworth recalls. His ballot initiative had passed in 2002, and he was in a good position to help either way. He organized a Palin fund raiser and turned over the names of 42,000 voters, largely independents who had signed his petitions...
