The Presidency’s Mormon Moment

 

April 9, 2007

The New York Times

By KENNETH WOODWARD

 

IN May, Mitt Romney,

the former Massachusetts governor

and 2008 Republican presidential hopeful,

will give the commencement address

at Pat Robertson’s Regent University.

What better opportunity for Mr. Romney to discuss

the issue of his Mormon faith

before an audience of evangelicals?

(...)

The issues above are real to many people,

and Mr. Romney should take the opportunity

to address them at Regent University.

But none of these popular reservations

about the Mormon Church

are reasons to vote for or against Mitt Romney.

History was bound to have

its Mormon moment in presidential politics,

just as it had its Catholic moment when Kennedy ran.

Now that the moment has arrived,

much depends on Mr. Romney.

 

Kenneth Woodward,

a contributing editor at Newsweek,

is writing a book about American religion since 1950.

No Need for All These Nukes

 

January 7, 2012

The New York Times

By PHILIP TAUBMAN

 

STANFORD, Calif.

OVER the last three years,

as I delved into the world

of American nuclear weapons,

I felt increasingly

[ passé actif affirmatif

du verbe irrégulier feel ]

as though I had stepped into a time warp.

Despite the nearly total rearrangement

of the international security landscape

since the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991,

the rise of Islamic terrorism

and the spread of nuclear materials and technology

to volatile nations like Pakistan,

North Korea and Iran,

the Defense Department remains enthralled

by cold war nuclear strategies and practices.

American Dream

Is Elusive for New Generation

 

July 6, 2010

The New York Times

By LOUIS UCHITELLE

 

GRAFTON, Mass. — After breakfast,

his parents left for their jobs,

and Scott Nicholson, alone in the house

in this comfortable suburb west of Boston,

went to his laptop in the living room.

He had placed it on a small table

that his mother had used for a vase of flowers

until her unemployed son found himself

reluctantly stuck at home.

The daily routine seldom varied. Mr. Nicholson, 24,

a graduate of Colgate University,

winner of a dean’s award for academic excellence,

spent his mornings searching corporate Web sites

for suitable job openings.

When he found one,

he mailed off a résumé and cover letter

— four or five a week, week after week.

 

Over the last five months

[ ces cinq derniers mois /

du 1er janvier 2010 à juin 2010 ],

only one job materialized

[ passé actif affirmatif ].

 

After several interviews,

the Hanover Insurance Group in nearby Worcester

offered to hire him as an associate claims adjuster,

at $40,000 a year.

But even before the formal offer,

Mr. Nicholson had decided not to take the job.

At Least 67 Killed

at Baghdad’s Largest Market

 

February 12, 2007

The New York Times

By DAMIEN CAVE

 

BAGHDAD, Feb. 12 — Four bomb explosions

at Baghdad’s oldest market

killed at least 67 people and wounded 155 today,

charring families in their cars, shredding stores

and setting ablaze a seven-story clothing warehouse,

where black smoke billowed for hours,

witnesses and officials said.

The blasts at Central Baghdad’s Shorja Market

— the capital’s largest bazaar — struck shortly

after Iraq’s Shiite-led government

marked the first anniversary,

by the Islamic calendar,

of an attack that destroyed

a revered Shiite mosque in Samarra.

That bombing,

which shattered the shrine’s golden dome,

ignited a wave of sectarian violence in Iraq

that has yet to be extinguished.

With its timing and severity,

today’s attack seemed designed

to fuel the country’s sectarian hatreds,

and to identify weaknesses

in the new American-Iraqi security plan for Baghdad

that has just begun.

 

It was

[ passé affirmatif du verbe irrégulier be ]

at least the fifth bombing

at the Shorja market since August [2006],

and one of roughly a dozen attacks at markets

over the past year,

killing more than 500 people

as they bought or sold what they needed to survive.
