...Hear Us Roar Michael Kinsley makes the mistake of dismissing the anger of Hillary Clinton's supporters rather than analyzing its causes [July 21]. For many, the Democratic race was the culmination of decades of strong, deeply personal feelings about feminism and civil rights, with candidates whose experiences resonated meaningfully with voters. How does one "get over" that? And when will Barack Obama thoughtfully address gender inequality in a speech, as he has with racism, faith and patriotism? A winning coalition in November could result if efforts are directed toward understanding rather than dismissing the concerns of these voters. Stephanie...

...first stumbling block: Weeklong talks were adjourned after the MDC rejected as "insulting" the government's offer to make opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai one of three vice presidents. (Tsvangirai won more votes than Mugabe in the first round of presidential polling on March 29; he withdrew from the runoff race in the face of a campaign of violence against opposition supporters by security forces and militias loyal to Mugabe.) An MDC source at the talks in Pretoria, South Africa, told Agence France-Presse that the government's proposal showed a "complete lack of sincerity and the need to really address...
