  2. Pope shows lifetime jobs aren't always for life

    The world seems surprised that an 85-year-old globe-trotting pope who just started tweeting wants to resign, but should it be? Maybe what should be surprising is that more leaders his age do not, considering the toll aging takes on bodies and minds amid a culture of constant communication and change.

  3. Justice for genocide in Guatemala?

    GUATEMALA CITY — When a judge ruled to admit all the prosecution documents and expert witnesses in the genocide trial here of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt last week — ensuring that Guatemala will be the first country in history to try one of its own heads of state for the most egregious crime against humanity — no triumphal smiles crossed the faces of courtroom observers. Some had been working toward this moment for years: two elderly women who between them lost a brother and a son among the 200,000 dead and disappeared over 36 years of guerrilla warfare and military dictatorship; indigenous Maya survivors from the highlands, where the army by its own account erased entire villages; those who spent their young adulthood in exile, then returned before it was safe to do so, throwing themselves into the tedious labor of collecting the evidence now being used against the general.

  7. The amazing grace of it all

    WASHINGTON -- President Barack Hussein Obama's second inauguration was every bit as historic as his first -- not because it said so much about the nation's long, bitter, unfinished struggle with issues of race, as was the case four years ago, but...

  9. The case for naming a U.S. secretary of Culture

    Along with adding the finishing touches to his inaugural address on Monday, President Obama has plenty on his plate. He is consumed by the responsibilities of selecting new Cabinet members and preparing strategies to get them confirmed. He already had his fair share of critics, and the last thing he needs is a <em>music</em> critic telling him how to run the country.

  11. Chan Lowe: Obama's cabinet picks

    Presidential staffing is where symbolism and pragmatism collide. It&rsquo;s also where the dual nature of the presidency&mdash;as head of state and head of government&mdash;becomes most problematic for the occupant.

    For priding itself as an organization that teaches gun safety, why does the National Rifle Assn. keep shooting itself in the foot?
