...Sole of the Man TIME photographer Callie Shell defined the American ethos with her poignant photograph of the soles of Obama's shoes [Nov. 17]. Lots of us have many pairs that look just like his, whether because of pounding the pavement looking for a job or simply walking to one's place of employment because gas is unaffordable. The photograph also defined what Obama stands for: hard work, determination and never giving up. Melissa Clarke, BEAR...
Overlooked History Like many articles about the history of the U.S., Ishaan Tharoor's piece about the writer Washington Irving's setting for his stories in the Hudson Valley makes it sound like Native Americans never existed [Nov. 3]. Why is it that the media so often neglect them as if they were not humans, and imply instead that the Europeans were the first to walk and talk in America?

Lost America Regarding America's lost leadership role: America could probably regain a measure of moral authority if only it showed an inclination toward accountability [Nov. 3].

However, in reality, we have yet to hear any kind of admission or apology from the Administration...
Obama Victory The new agenda facing Obama couldn't have been better summed up than by Michael Grunwald's five crucial steps [Nov. 17]. Obama's victory has the hallmarks of a landslide, even though, with 52% of the popular vote and a turnout of 64%, less than a third of the U.S. population actually voted for him. But this is still much more than most previous Presidents could claim, and with majorities in Congress and the Senate, there will be no excuse for not having the back-up for even the most daring new legislation. But a word...
Less than 48 hours after shutting down Bangkok's international airport, anti-government protesters have forced the closure of the Thai capital's domestic airfield. The occupation of Don Muang airport by 3,000 members of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) in the early hours of Nov. 27 was an attempt to prevent government ministers from flying to the northern city of Chiang Mai to attend a cabinet meeting called by embattled Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat at his home...
