Obama & Clinton: Who's More Likely to Confront Global Warming?
Even if you ignore his major achievements in the Illinois legislature--like bringing police chiefs and civil liberties advocates together to craft and support a bill providing clear monitoring of police interrogations, and passing a bill extending health care to 150,000 state residents--I'd say evidence of insider ability is a wash. The critical difference between Obama and Clinton is their potential to encourage ordinary citizens to speak out on the changes that we need. And that will be essential. If you strip away the racial connotations, that's actually the core of the debate over Clinton's claim that LBJ was more critical to the passage of the Civil Rights Act than Martin Luther King. For all that I loathe Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam War, he did stake his entire political capital and massive skill to navigate the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts through Congress--even though he knew it would lose the Democrats the South for a long time to come. But without the massive citizen movement that put civil rights onto the nation's conscience and at the top of its political agenda, he'd never have taken these stands.

Helios: ‘Resign’ call to Minister
CALLS for Communications Minister Haris Thrassous resignation grew louder yesterday after the Helios crash enquiry heard damning evidence about the chaotic state of air safety on the island. Evidence before the committee suggests the Civil Aviation Department is a shambles, making the possibility of another air disaster more likely. Moreover, it was claimed the Helios Airways crash Boeing was permitted to fly before it had rectified eight pending safety issues. These revelations, among others, have upset and angered the Helios relatives, who are demanding that Thrassou do the honourable thing and resign. The minister says he should be judged on all the evidence and not snippets of testimony that can be refuted by others. Rallied The government has rallied round the besieged minister but the opposition says his position is shaky at best, while the Greens are urging him to go now.

It isn't necessarily pent-up market demand. Yingli shares actually fell by 5% on its first day of trading. Redemption came after investors flocked to the shares as a way to play the hot -- literally and figuratively -- sector of solar energy. Sometimes a hot IPO shows its winning ways right away, of course. Longtop Financial (NYSE: LFT) went public at $17.50 last year, soaring 70% higher on its first trading day.
