...actions and accomplishments, not our rhetoric - and certainly not our jewelry - that define us as patriots. The flag pin on your cover has been a lightning rod for controversy during the presidential campaign, but it is not a litmus test for patriotism. Francis Scott Key wrote of the Stars and Stripes waving "o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave," not o'er the Brooks Brothers lapel. Tracy Leverton, Vienna...

"They ayes have it," said Somnath Chatterjee, the speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament, as he announced the results at about 8:25 p.m., New Delhi time...
