"You will not see any hostility between the trade-union leaders and Blair either publicly or behind closed doors," says Cogger, "because it is so important to win this election...

But she has had reason to suspect for some years now that even she didn't know the whole story. And if she is distracted tonight, it may be because the story...
...democracy's side. That world of us vs. them was swept away in 1989, but Albright still aspires to Marshall's "magic and very American approach," eager "to plant the seed" of democracy as he did. She has never forgotten how the people of her native Czechoslovakia, blocked by Stalin from joining the Marshall Plan, quietly absorbed American ideas even across a sealed border...
