Person of the Year Interview
Time has posted online their interview with Obama, this year’s Person of the Year. If you’ve not read the paper version yet, here’s your chance.

The Price of Arrogance
Since first taking office, members of the Bush administration have acted as if America’s long dominance in the world made them untouchable. They have repeatedly gone their own way, using diplomacy when it suited their purposes and ignoring the world when it didn’t.

Watching Al Gore
With the field of Democratic presidential hopefuls growing, the primary race is getting off to a tentative start.
