This is NOT a Kennedy Catholic moment. Mitt Romneys beliefs and convictions are so uncanny...

This book is a primer. It minimizes the descriptions of the science its conclusions are based on. It briefly describes what is essential to human nature, after the complexities of culture are subtracted out. It also only briefly describes how human nature separates on gender roles determined by the sexual process. In abbreviated form, it tells the story of life, from animals to us, and from us as individuals to us as members of society. It shows how...

In Toxic Talk, Bill Press exposed the ways in which the extreme right-wing media has done an end run around the American voting populace by exerting a disproportionate control over open political debate. In The Obama Hate Machine, Press returns to show how the Right has taken rhetoric to slanderous new levels in attacking the nation's forty-fourth president.
But, presidents have always been attacked like this, right? Wrong. As the author shows, while...

Es un movimiento, es un partido, es un sentimiento. Es de derecha y de izquierda. Es pragmático e ideológico. Es revolucionario y conservador. Para muchos, es el símbolo de la inclusión y el ascenso social de millones de trabajadores; para otros, representa el mayor obstáculo para el desarrollo argentino. El peronismo es la identidad política más persistente del país y, por eso, un enigma controvertido y apasionante.

From our nation's inception, there has been a constant dynamic of tension between those political philosophies that we have labeled, the left and the right, despite the fact that the vast majority of American voters really fall into the category of moderates. During the early years, the shifts between the two were dramatic and frequent: the Federalists on one side, the Jeffersonians on the other, as the young democracy came to grips with the two opposing...

After the 2004 election, the Republican Party held the White House, both houses of Congress, twenty-eight governorships, and a majority of state legislatures. One-party rule, it seemed, was here to stay.
Herding Donkeys tells the improbable tale of the grassroots resurgence that transformed the Democratic Party from a lonely minority to a sizable majority. It chronicles the inside story of Howard Dean's visionary yet deeply controversial fifty-state...

In 1948, an ambitious 20 year-old Irish journalist with law and law-reporting experience, arrived in Shrewsbury at 9. 15 a. m to join a national press agency, tired and hungry after the night boat from Dublin, two trains, and a six hour wait at Crewe Junction. His new boss shook hands in the office at Shoplatch and sent him back up the town to a divorce court. He bought himself a Mars bar for breakfast. After an hour of taking down the most lubricious...

« Au tournant des années 1960, tous s'accordaient pour dire que le Québec venait au monde et cela suscitait l'enthousiasme de la population. De nos jours, on chercherait en vain de telles espérances. L'époque est au ressentiment et à la résignation, car on ne désire pas l'État néolibéral. On le subit comme une fatalité. Tout bilan des quinze années de pouvoir du Parti libéral du Québec doit prendre acte de ce fait et l'expliquer: le...

Intense partisanship is a familiar part of the contemporary United States, but its consequences do not stop at the country's borders. The damage now extends to U.S. relations with the rest of the world. Too often, political leaders place their own party's interest in gaining and keeping power ahead of the national interest.
Paul R. Pillar examines how and why partisanship has undermined U.S. foreign policy, especially over the past three decades....
