What issues matter to Ohio's blue-collar voters? JoAnn Wypijewski reports from the campaign trail.
Nicholas von Hoffman : Hillary Clinton
The Clintons cannot compete with the enthusiasm Obama sets off so they are trying to destroy it. They just may succeed--but at an awful price.
Mark Updegrove : Journalists & Journalism
Bill Clinton maintains that the mainstream media has misrepresented his record on fighting terror. But it will take a generation to meaningfully assess his effectiveness.
You'd think Bill Clinton doesn't know the difference between getting mothers and their children off the welfare rolls and getting them out of poverty.
The GOP is an object of popular loathing, yet prospects seem dim for ousting it from power. Three new books explain why: Off Center explores the GOP's genius for subverting the mechanisms of accountability, and Death by a Thousand Cuts and Stand Up Fight Back examine how the Republican machine dominates issues from tax cuts to energy conservation. Plus, the Clinton biography The Survivor looks at the man who once made liberals feel like winners, yet whose legacy holds them back.
Eric Alterman : Media Analysis
John Harris's history of the Clinton Administration deserves much of the praise it has received, but it ignores the media's anti-Clinton animus.
William Greider : Democratic Party
If the Democratic Party is to find a sense of purpose, it must get beyond Bill Clinton's influence.
Richard Falk & David Krieger : United Nations
To save the UN from the White House's destructive unilateralism, other key nations will have to stand up to its bullying.
Christopher Hitchens : US Military
Colin Powell's appointment is a worrisome indicator of the militarization of the State Department.
