...Trim and fit, the U.S.-born Prime Minister (his mother, Margaret, is from Illinois) lived much of his youth in exile with his father in the U.S., Canada and Sweden. He speaks English with a quiet, Midwestern cadence and perfect American idioms. In Greek he's cerebral rather than fervent, eschewing the widespread idea that a Greek politician needs to dominate a room with oversize rhetoric. The Greek press sometimes even mocks him for his small grammatical errors. (See TIME's Greece covers...
...dangerous zealots. The ranks of the antifederalist insurgency include plenty of the former: tax protesters, home schoolers, Christian fundamentalists and well-versed Constitutionalists. But the groups also contain an insidious sprinkling of the latter, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists. What binds these diverse elements is a fervent paranoia. The most fearful patriots believe that Soviet fighter jets are on standby in Biloxi, Mississippi, that frequent flyovers by "black helicopters'' signal an imminent occupation by the armies of a one-world government, and that stickers on some interstate highways are coded to direct the invading armies.

Yet Britain's battered Prime Minister Gordon Brown is rallying support, while his untested Conservative challenger David Cameron has watched a 20-point lead dwindle to as little as two points. With neither of the two main parties on course to win an outright majority, Clegg and his Lib Dems could wake up on May 7 holding the balance of power...
...women, his opponents only made him stronger, strengthening his every-guy-against-the-world image and putting some meat on the bones of his near paranoid ravings about dark forces aligning against liberty, and himself. When cornered, he only became more vulnerable, more tearful and, at least to his fervent followers, more likable. (See pictures from a day in the life of Glenn Beck...
