jfbLots of good stuff in the New York Times today, and I haven't even made it to the Week in Review or Arts and Leisure sections yet. I'm not that interested in the war itself; these articles are mostly about the politics surrounding it.
In the travel section, "American visitors in six European countries find that antiwar sentiment is aimed at their government, not them."
On the front page, the headline "Military Mirrors Working-Class America" is another way of saying, as they do later in the article, "A survey of the American military's endlessly compiled and analyzed demographics paints a picture of a fighting force that is anything but a cross section of America." Not a new insight in itself, but the article is detailed and interesting. A companion piece looks at the crew of the Abraham Lincoln.
At the U.N.: Kofi Annan's most difficult moment. Fascinating.
Inside the beltway: Political perils for a president in wartime. The administration's latest attempt to convince you that Bush is exactly involved enough in the war. Rumsfeld "has assumed an even crustier, testier tone." And a nice roundup of Washington's newfound doubts about the war.
And, speaking of doubts: Boston's biggest protest since Vietnam. Friday protests in Manhattan, Paterson, and Ithaca. France's anti-war rallies turn anti-Israel, and, surprise, anti-Semitic. Raargh! And an article about what some iconic 60's activists are doing today.
