...read Klein's assessment of Edwards with amazement. It was naive, to say the least. Edwards is without a doubt the most phony-baloney candidate out there, Democrat or Republican. He is the model of political self-interest. Edwards has been carefully grooming himself for political glory ever since he finished milking the health-care industry for every cent he could as a trial lawyer specializing in personal-injury litigation. His baby kissing and do-gooder track record clearly indicate he's an ego-driven man purely in it for himself and will do whatever is politically expedient to achieve...

You can only marvel at the genius of the ancient artisans who crafted this and the equally incandescent jewelry, masks, breastplates (pictured), figurines, urns and - my favorites - funky animal sculptures in the museum...

Sarkozy also declared that he wants "to rehabilitate work, authority, morality, respect and merit." André Glucksmann...
Left standing are the great exceptions to the eat-or-be-eaten model, the family-owned companies behind the country's three best newspapers: the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal. The Bancrofts were unique in their disengagement from the business they controlled. But their view of the company they inherited as a trust whose value exceeded the dividends it generated was shared by the more hands-on Sulzbergers of New York City and Grahams of Washington. "It's not just family ownership," says Alex Jones, director of Harvard's Shorenstein Center on the Press...
