The Cry of Suffering, by Lorenzo Albacete
The redemption of suffering cannot be found as an "ultimate answer" to a problem: it can only be an event that transforms the drama of suffering into a drama of love and shows love to be more powerful than its denial.

FORCE MULTIPLIER

By Joshua Green

"In many presidential campaigns a moment arrives when disappointment with the declared candidates sets in, and adream candidate emerges--one who seems to personify all that is missing from the field." Wesley Clark is not Haig and not Eisenhower. And some Democrats are hoping he won't be Cuomo.

WILL FRANKENFOOD SAVE THE PLANET?

By Jonathan Rauch

Over the next half century genetic engineering could feed humanity and solve a raft of environmental ills--if only environmentalists would let it. Jonathan Rauch looks at what may be the farming of the future.

NOTES FROM A NATIVE DAUGHTER

By Benjamin Schwarz

"For the past forty years Joan Didion has taken upon herself the task of explaining, or at least exposing, California to the New York literary world. But, it's clear that California is no longer hers, and she can't go home again." *Where I Was From* is a slim volume about California that confirms Joan Didion's "apparently irreversible decline."

Politics & Prose

"A MISERABLE FAILURE"

"The Founders feared that the extension of democracy to

those who could not rise to the responsibilities of republican

freedom would corrupt the republic--hasten its decay into

oligarchy or mob rule. A republic can be corrupted at the top

and bottom, by leaders and led. The re-election of George W. Bush

would signal that a kind of corruption had set in among the

led." Will Bush be re-elected? Only if voters wittingly ignore

his long list of failures while in office. By Jack Beatty.

15 Years Ago in The Atlantic

September 1988 | DRIVEN TOWARD GOD

"For the moment, pro-American feelings are widespread in

Afghanistan. If such an attitude is to last, American officials

would do well to steer clear of Afghan politics." In 1988,

soon before the Soviets' withdrawal from Afghanistan, Robert

Kaplan analyzed the political future of the war-torn country.

AS AMERICAN AS WOMEN'S SOCCER?

"The women of WUSA understand that they are pioneers." This week

America's women's soccer league folded. In 2001 Scott Stossel

reported on the then-new league, and speculated on its chances

for success.
