Henceforth, let no American analyze with condescension any other country's elections that are marked by protests and recounts. I trust that Americans now see that such events are the simple manifestations of democracy at work. RENE VALDES Baguio City, the Philippines...
...aggressive press hound back home. She's received a mixed welcome from Republican Senators, who remember her haughty attitude when she was in charge of trying to get health-care reform through Congress.

King, in the meantime, is thinking something along the lines of, "Hey guys! My uncle's got a barn! Let's put on a show!" It's a goofy thing, in other words. Not a business thing at all. Which, may I add, isn't the same thing as saying there's no money in it. Or cultural clout. Just ask the goofball who thought up Napster...
