...Whether intentionally or coincidentally, thank you for running two different but parallel pieces in the same issue: Leslie Gelb's "Remembrance: Robert McNamara" and your cover story on Afghanistan. Both articles mirror each other in thought and tone and express hope for American efforts in ongoing quagmires. Gelb and McChrystal understand that wars in places like Afghanistan and Vietnam - no matter how expertly executed - can't be won unless local people have a true stake in the operations.

The exhibition's centerpiece is "Garden and Cosmos," a collection of 54 bold 17th and 19th century paintings from the courts of Jodhpur...
...Facebook threat pales beside the remarkable success of Apple's iPhone and the rise of a mobile computing platform that exists parallel to - but distinctly apart from - the Google-dominated Web. While it's true that the iPhone accounts for more Web browsing than any other smartphone, it's also true that browsing the Web on it is still a suboptimal experience. Anyone who uses an iPhone knows that native apps are infinitely better to use than the Web. The iPhone is all about apps - not browsing the Web. Virtually any site you can think of, from the New York...
