Will anti-racists cheer for Obama?
When the radio talk show host Don Imus used racial insults on air, it was from Al Sharpton he sought absolution. He instinctively realised that there was no point seeking it from Colin Powell. That is why Al Sharpton possesses power. Yet while figures like Jesse Jackson do well for themselves, they will never be icons to those outside their community. They will be feared more than they are respected. All this Bill Clinton perceives with the same clarity as Steele. All this and one thing more. Mr Obama (like Steele) is not the son of two black parents. His mother was white. And in A Bound Man it is suggested that this is a source of tension. He has to some extent chosen his black identity and wants to hold on to it. Yet at the same time he wants to move beyond the predominant political strategy of the black community - to move beyond challenging.
New treatment can clear brain clots
It's a tiny vacuum cleaner for the brain: A new treatment for stroke victims promises to suction out clogged arteries in hopes of stopping the brain attack before it does permanent harm.Called Penumbra, the newly approved device is the latest in a series of inside-the-artery attempts to boost recovery from stroke, the nation's No. 3 killer.Now the question is how to determine which patients are good candidates - because, illogical as it may sound, unclogging isn't always the best option."Is the patient at a stage of stroke where you're going to hurt them by pulling a clot out, or show benefit?" asks Dr. Walter Koroshetz of the National Institutes of Health. "It's good we have devices. Now we have to learn how to use them."More than 700,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year, and more than 150,000 of them die.
LEADER ARTICLE: Whiff Of Regime Change
American elections matter to the world. With the fiasco in Iraq and a looming recession, there's a political headwind in favour of change. According to a recent Wall Street Journal-NBC poll 46 per cent of voters seek "major reforms" and a "brand-new approach" while 29 per cent are looking for moderate corrections. It's probable that a Democrat will occupy the White House by early next year. President George Bush has been quite India-friendly.
Democrats are thought to view outsourcing with disfavour, and to be less inclined to a nuclear deal with India than Republicans. Does that mean Indian interests are in jeopardy if America gets a Democratic president?
Not quite. It doesn't matter if Bush has good intentions, his foreign policy is horribly wrong. The unpopularity of his Iraq policies can be gauged from the fact that Karl Rove - who's been Bush's chief political strategist for a long time - is actually arguing nowadays that US Congress pushed Bush into a war with Iraq, not the other way round.
President Bush's final State of the Union Address
Tonight, I want to discuss three economic reforms that deserve to be priorities for this Congress. First, we must balance the federal budget. (Applause.) We can do so without raising taxes. (Applause.) What we need to do is impose spending discipline in Washington, D.C. We set a goal of cutting the deficit in half by 2009, and met that goal three years ahead of schedule. (Applause.) Now let us take the next step. In the coming weeks, I will submit a budget that eliminates the federal deficit within the next five years. (Applause.) I ask you to make the same commitment. Together, we can restrain the spending appetite of the federal government, and we can balance the federal budget. (Applause.) President George W. Bush is applauded as he delivers his State of the Union Address Tuesday, Jan.

Montags own legacy (to this point in the novel) is the pile of ashes he will leave behind. Montag is a fireman. In Bradburys futuristic vision, firemen are responsible for starting fires. His fires burn books that have been deemed dangerous. Theyve been censored. Theyve been banned. They get burned. While this web-site might seem an uncommon place to explore censorship, consider: a game official in the employ of the NFL faces league discipline because a player to whom he spoke deemed his words offensive. That official referred to the player as Boy. In context the player, arguing a call by that official, exclaimed to the official Youve never played football before. In essence, the player was questioning the officials right to judge the play. In response, the official began with Boy. What the player did not realize was that the official was in fact a 7-year veteran of the NFL as an offensive lineman.
