 The American Prospect Abstracts by Brijit
The next president must lead a "comprehensive rethink" of both American policy in the region and of the grand narratives and mindsets that guide it.
Many Americans are facing unemployment and debt, and the traditional remedies of tax breaks and cash infusions are unlikely to be effective.
The next president faces an economic challenge so extraordinary it'll require rejecting the previously sacred economic principles favoring the free markets and deregulation, which have resulted in "toxic financial bubbles." Nevertheless, today's federal government is better poised to address our economic woes than in previous crises.

American policy has relentlessly promoted open commerce, leading the way by freeing its own markets to foreign investment, trade and travel.
At the same time, a large fraction of new immigrants are undocumented and marginalized from the rest of American society; even those with legal papers find their access to social benefits constrained unless they are citizens.
The administration's inattention to migration in the context of North American integration has undermined the stature and standing of Mexico's first democratically elected president in 70 years.

The royal family's many American mouthpieces assure us that the May 12 suicide bombing in Riyadh was a watershed -- that the Saudis now understand how dangerous al-Qaeda is and will henceforth be tripping over themselves to help us.
In pledging to free the United States from this pathetic entanglement, the Democrats would, in a sense, be reclaiming Woodrow Wilson from the Republicans generally and the neocons specifically.
It used to be that the Democrats were the ethical standard-bearers in American foreign policy, committed to ensuring that the United States conducted itself in a manner consistent with its founding principles.

 THE AMERICAN PROSPECT MAGAZINE   (Site not responding. Last check: )
ECONOMIC POLICY: American liberals were not socialists, and soon after World War II, European social democrats abandoned the quest to create a socialist society.
Some version of this strategy worked through the 1960s, but it depended on conditions peculiar to an older industrial capitalism that ran more smoothly with stable, lifetime employment and that was insulated from capital movements and global currency speculation.
The American public continues to support the Clinton-Blair third-way assumptions on Social Security, health care, pensions, and education, and to oppose the conservative alternative of privatization.

The industry's position was also supported by magazine and newspaper publishers and by the American Civil Liberties Union, which announced its strong opposition to cigarette advertising restrictions on First Amendment grounds.
The American failure to see this is largely traceable to the popular notion that the only defensible goal for drug policy is reducing the number of users (preferably to zero).
And we could undertake harm reduction with efforts based on the model of American product-safety regulation, which focuses as much on reducing the consequences of accidents as on reducing the number of them.

Bentonville regards the prospect of employee free association and organization within its stores with the same fear and loathing that Beijing feels at the prospect of free elections in China.
According to Cornell labor relations professor Kate Bronfenbrenner, at least 5 percent of workers involved in unionization campaigns are fired, which is both quite illegal and quite routine: Companies would rather pay the nominal fines than pay their workers higher wages and lose the absolute control they hold over the work lives of their employees.

 frontline: bigger than enron: the politics of enron | PBS
But there is no sign from any of the polling data to suggest that most Americans have taken the Enron scandals and generalized them into a broad critique of American capitalism or of the American corporate class.
Your thesis seems to be either that Democrats are nincompoops to fail to exploit this moment, or, more likely, that the moment is unexploitable because Americans are basically happy with their lives and confident about the economy.
There are plenty of populist grievances, such as the failure of Americans to have health security, but neither party is currently their champion, so ordinary people are disconnected from politics.

 Will Libraries Survive? Geoffrey Nunberg, The American Prospect   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The grants were described as a public relations ploy, and one moreover from which Gates and Microsoft stood to profit by seeding their technology in the library context.
When the matter was raised in the Council of the American Library Association, one councillor described the grant as "a down payment on the purchase of public libraries." In the end, though, a more accommodating view prevailed, as the council voted to "recognize and celebrate Bill and Melinda Gates.
It was a time, after all, when schooling was more limited than it is today—in 1890 only a quarter of American students finished high school—and when the curriculum was mired in rote learning that had little relevance to the forms of literacy that reformers wanted to establish.

 The American Prospect December 4, 2000
The primary reason is the recognition that undocumented workers are a vital part of the American labor market.
Last year a number of employer associations -- including the American Hotel and Motel Association, the American Meat Institute, the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, the American Nursery and Landscape Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- established the Essential Worker Immigration Coalition (EWIC).
There may be greater appeal in an essential-worker approach that would be crafted for industries with demonstrated labor shortages and a high percentage of immigrant workers.

 AlterNet: A Battle Progressives Can Win
Only 35 percent of Americans think Bush has a mandate "to allow workers to invest some of their Social Security taxes in the stock market," while 51 percent say he has no such mandate, according to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted just after Bush's re-election victory.
But Bush is gambling his winning streak on persuading a majority in Congress to vote to dismantle the most popular and successful social-insurance program in the nation's history.
Their opportunistic victory led to a period of conservative dominance of American politics.

 Saving Somalia, The American Prospect: U.S. Will Play Key Role In Blocking Insurgency - CBS News
ICU members in Ras Kamboni appear to be communicating with high-level al Qaeda leaders: according to a senior military intelligence officer, their calls for assistance motivated Ayman al-Zawahiri's January 5 tape which urged his followers to go to Somalia to fight alongside the ICU.

But there are signs that the ICU is also attempting to regroup in Kenya and Yemen, just as the Taliban regrouped in Pakistan after it was toppled from power in Afghanistan.
