...nothing poll-tested about him. He doesn't do focus groups. At 66, he's a generation older than boomers Bush and Gore, but he's tapped into youthful idealism. A bit of a recluse, he doesn't own a car and is known for his old clothes, even though his speaking fees and investments have left him with personal assets of close to $4 million. But the key to Nader's clout is frustration on the left, especially when it comes to the globalization initiatives of Bill Clinton. Nader lashes out at the World Trade Organization and the recent...
...Israeli occupation. "There is no doubt that our most important role is in the region," he explained. "We have experience, and we are ready to help. All means must be used to help the Palestinians." U.S. officials contend that Hizballah is training radical Palestinian factions for terrorist operations.

As she and Kim entered the 150,000-seat May Day stadium, a sellout crowd of blue-suited Korean Workers' Party members let out a sonorous, sustained roar as if at the flip of a switch. Fireworks exploded overhead, and the Great Leader waved. More than 100,000 performers acted out scenes of socialist glory with translated names like If the Party Decides, So We Do and The General and People...
...their mothers for a year to 18 months. But this raises another difficult question: Is it really better for an infant to be raised in prison, just to be near the mother? No one has studied the long-term effect on kids who spend their early months behind bars, though some initial research suggests that babies don't develop as well there because they don't get the kind of attention and stimulation they need. There are also concerns about children's safety in prisons, which are often not adequately childproof, and about the availability of adequate medical care. Then...
