Within hours of publishing a column by a U.S. senator conveying an opinion held by a majority of Americans, The New York Times’ staff erupted in an outrage, calling their employer’s decision to print a differing opinion, “surreal and horrifying.” The editorial page editor James Bennet at first defended running counter viewpoints by those in policy positions, but by Thursday, the New York Times fully relented, issuing an apology and blaming a “rushed editorial process” for its decision to run the op-ed at all. The op-ed, written by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., called on the federal government to “send in...

It's been 26 years since Lew Prince paid the first premium to provide health insurance for the staff of his small business, Vintage Vinyl in the Delmar Loop. Back then, Prince sought to honor his father — a New Jersey labor organizer — by meeting the needs of a valued employee awaiting the delivery of his first child. "Everyone should have health care in a civilized country," Prince says. That principle has guided Prince every year since, even as his annual payout for health insurance to cover his 17 employees has ballooned to $60,000. Soon — as national health care...

MOSCOW — Nearly two decades after the collapse of the Communist Party, Russia’s rulers have hit upon a model for future success: the Communist Party. Aleksandr D. Zhukov, a Russian deputy prime minister, praised the Chinese Communist Party at a meeting in Suifenhe, China. Or at least, the one that reigns next door. Like an envious underachiever, Vladimir V. Putin’s party, United Russia, is increasingly examining how it can emulate the Chinese Communist Party, especially its skill in shepherding China through the financial crisis relatively unbowed. United Russia’s leaders even convened a special meeting this month with senior Chinese Communist...

The first tank phalanx receives inspection in a parade of the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, on Chang'an Street in central Beijing China today celebrated its wealth and rising might with a show of goose-stepping troops, gaudy floats and nuclear-capable missiles in Beijing, 60 years after Mao Zedong proclaimed its embrace of communism. Tiananmen Square became a hi-tech stage to celebrate the birth of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, with President Hu Jintao, wearing a slate grey 'Mao' suit, and the Communist Party leadership watching the...

CARACAS, Venezuela — Tens of thousands marched through Venezuela's capital on Saturday to protest what they call growing authoritarianism by President Hugo Chavez. A few thousand of the president's backers held a separate counter-rally to express support for the government's policies. Anti-Chavez protesters, many of them wearing white, filled the streets of Caracas, denouncing recent arrests of opposition members for alleged violence during protests and a new education law that critics fear could lead to indoctrination in schools. "It's very concerning because education is Venezuela's future," said 23-year-old engineering student Carlos Delgado, who also complained of soaring inflation and rampant...

Levy Viewed as Way to Reduce Deficits, Fund Health Reform With budget deficits soaring and President Obama pushing a trillion-dollar-plus expansion of health coverage, some Washington policymakers are taking a fresh look at a money-making idea long considered politically taboo: a national sales tax.

Suppose you were sitting in church one Sunday peacefully minding your own business, praying that God grant our new president the wisdom to do what is right when suddenly, the sanctity of the church is violated in the most horrific way by vandals, thugs, and screaming lunatics. This is what happened at a small church in Lansing, MI called Mount Hope. From the blog Right Michigan: Mount Hope, for the record, is an evangelical, bible believing church whose members provide free 24 hour counseling, prayer lines, catastrophic care for families dealing with medical emergencies, support groups for men, women and...

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures....

The former Russian tycoon, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, now in prison in the far reaches of Siberia has learned a hard lesson about where real power exists. He now knows that all the propoganda about capitalists having power is just that propoganda. Perhaps it was his trip to the Siberian prison that taught him that a tycoon's power could never match the power of a government leader with a standing army...

Victory in war, and particularly in counterinsurgency wars, requires knowing one’s enemy. This simple truth, first stated by Sun Tsu more than two millennia ago, is no less important in the war on terrorism today. It has become almost common wisdom, however, that America today faces an enemy of a new kind, using unprecedented techniques and pursuing incomprehensible goals. But this enemy is not novel. Once the peculiar rhetoric is stripped away, the enemy America faces is a familiar one indeed. The revolutionary vision that undergirds al Qaeda’s ideology, the strategy it is pursuing, and the strategic debates occurring within...

The Great Wall of shopping By Pepe Escobar SHANGHAI - "Adore the world. Be after it. Be in it." This boardwalk advertisement greets at least half a million passers-by every day on Nanjing Dong Lu, Shanghai's premier commercial thoroughfare, where almost 40 years ago hordes of vigilant Red Guards waved Mao Zedong's Little Red Book. It is promoting - what else - a new shopping mall. And Shanghainese are indeed more than adoring, "after" and "in" this (shopping) world. Still growing at a dizzying 12% a year - to the cries of "unsustainable" by rows of economists in bad suits...

Russia heralds the end for red October Agencies in Moscow Friday October 29, 2004 The Guardian It was the day that changed Russia's history, a date that has given its name to streets, squares, factories, metro stations, hotels and entire regions. But now Moscow is about to do away with the public holiday commemorating the 1917 Bolshevik October revolution, a festive season once marked with full military pomp but now graced only by a few rallies attended mostly by veterans, elderly nostalgics and neo-leftists. A bill currently before parliament would expunge the last vestiges of the "great October" from the...

National NFRA: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO REAGAN "Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his. The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility...

<p>MOSCOW — As the Soviet Union collapsed more than a decade ago, carmaker AMO ZIL faced a daunting challenge confronting thousands of state-owned enterprises: competing in a brave new world of open markets.</p>
<p>The question was especially troublesome for ZIL, a producer of luxury limousines used by top Soviet-era Communist Party officials as well as less-glamorous trucks. Both lines saw plummeting sales as consumers opted for newly available Western imports.</p>

The liberal bias of Matt Lauer and Katie Couric: It’s your fault. Or it’s just the “prism” through which you the viewer perceive them, the NBC Today show duo contended Wednesday night on MSNBC’s Donahue. Lauer argued that charges of bias represent “much less, I think, our point of view than it is the point of view of the person watching the interview.” Couric agreed: “That’s true. I think really that it is sort of” a “Rorschach test” as “people really see what...they want to see from their particular frame of mind or the prism from which they’re watching.” It’s...
