...Bravo, TIME, for the year-end wrap-up and Person of the Year selection. Putin has so far served his country well, but he reminds me of one of those classic western movie sheriffs who is brought in to clean up a town and then becomes a bigger bad guy than the bad guys he was asked to eliminate. Putin was weaned by the KGB, and I anticipate the worst from him. His very expression is off-putting. I'm 80 years old, not a profane person and quite benign in my declining years. But when I opened my copy...
...appetizers weren't hard: Marcona almonds from Spain that were so much softer, sweeter and nuttier than any I can get here; Greek olives; Brie from France; smoked salmon from Scotland. I thought about getting a rack of lamb from New Zealand, but I couldn't resist asking the guy behind the seafood counter for the fish with the most frequent-flyer miles.

But Obama refused. He couldn't do that, he said, and besides, such an old-fashioned approach ran counter to the whole strategic design the campaign: to build a coalition of Democrats, independents and even Republicans for a new kind of bipartisan approach to solving the nation's problems...
...same time, despite his much-mocked pledge to run a positive campaign, Huckabee has continued to play hardball with Romney. He tells reporters to ask the other candidates if they know how to clean a gun. "People are looking for a presidential candidate who reminds them more of the guy they work with rather than the guy that laid them off," he says to crowds, small and large. During a debate Saturday, Romney accused him of mischaracterizing his position on the war in Iraq. "Which one?" Huckabee shot back, earning laughter from the audience and a scornful glance from...
