A lot of people don’t like Tom DeLay. As the majority whip and, since January 2001, the majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, DeLay is the fellow who has been leading the charge for the Republicans on Capitol Hill the last few years. He is a hard-core conservative, and believes in scorched-earth tactics […]

The demise of Saddam Hussein’s regime and the control it exerted over the media has unleashed an outburst of feelings of freedom reflected in a large number of dailies and weeklies which, for the first time in Iraq’s modern history, are free, uncensored, and often highly imaginative. While some of the dailies are associated with […]

The old homily of “Whose Ox Is Being Gored?” seems applicable at this sad moment. We hear Kofi Annan speaking in somber tones about the U.N. headquarters being hit by a suicide bomber and the loss of a valuable and most decent man, special envoy, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
